This is a section of a website designed for teachers by teachers. It has been going for 15 years and has a section on classroom management.

For any teacher anxious about going into their first classroom, this article gives a step-by-step checklist for a new teacher to review in order to make sure their class is prepared for an excellent classroom management start to the year.
