When starting out a new school year, it can be hard to know where to start with your instruction, integrating technology, and classroom schedule. You have anywhere from 15-20 students all with different abilities and attitudes towards school. With this course, you will be able to have a solid plan from day one that students will love. You will be able to quickly and easily set up your learning environment so that every student is working to the best of their ability with material that is challenging, engaging, and fun. You will also be able to monitor all student activity and behavior management without interrupting your classroom flow. As a teacher, you know it's important to have lots of data, so the next time a parent asks, 'how's my child doing?' you will have tons of data at the ready.  This will make team meetings, parent conferences, and data chats smooth and easy. You can also use this course for all subjects in your class, not just reading! 

Some instructional strategies that I would like to include are; 

• A visual breakdown of the schedule

• Video lecture on how to create lessons in Google Classroom and how to make a slideshow for center rotations

•  Audio recording of the difference between grouping homogeneous and heterogeneous students. As well as when and how to use both groupings. 

• Graphic organizer with ideas for center ideas. 

• Examples of the center rotation slideshow

• Have the teachers go through the reading block. 

• Model of how to take notes, save work samples, and progress monitor

•  Have teachers pair up and discuss behavior concerns and come up with ideas for behavior management systems

• Group subject area teachers together to discuss how they can use this in their classrooms
