Classroom Management

At tonight's meeting we presented on classroom management. This is one of the most important aspects of a classroom, students need to feel safe and comfortable in their learning environment and this only gets accomplished with effective classroom management. We discussed a variety of techniques and strategies to have successful classroom management, which is especially challenging for first year teachers. Below you will find our Powerpoint that went along with our presentation and a video of our meeting! This is our first time recording our meetings to post for everyone to see so we hope you all enjoy!

First Meeting of the Fall

Last Wednesday we had our first KSRA meeting of the semester! We were beyond excited at how many people came! Although we were all cramped into a tiny room it was a successful first meeting! We discussed what all our meetings will be about this semester and different events we have planned including the BEST conference! We also showed everyone our awesome shirts we designed! Here is our Powerpoint and a selfie of how many people were there!
