Re: Classroom Management
Posted by Ryan on 5/10/08

    Susannah:

    Classroom management is not done with rules. It is done with
    procedures. Clarify this misconception and you will do
    well. To see a good example, read this month's article by
    the Wong's on an amazing kindergarten teacher.

    Their October 2005 article will clarify this concept.

    Good luck.
