Yet another reason that being a teacher is fantastic— there are technically two "New Years" in a calendar year. The first is the beginning of the school year and the second is, of course, in January (Yes, my listing of them is chronologically incorrect, but in education the "beginning of the year" is the first day of school.) Since January is traditionally when goals are set for the year, it is a great time to revisit classroom management. It's a great time to stop what isn't working and to try something new. It's a great time to improve. I do suggest that you follow these steps if you are going to change things up.
Here are some classroom management ideas that might just be something that you'd like to revisit with your students: homework collection, hand-raising, substitutes, substitute folders, bellwork, classroom interventions, seating arrangements. And if you search around on the links provided there are a good number of other classroom management topics which are addressed. Many thanks to about.com, Fred Jones, Love & Logic, and Education World.
