The first day doesn't start when students walk through the door. It starts with preparation and practical considerations that are rarely covered in teacher education, making them easy to overlook until you are responsible for your own classroom.
What will students do when they come in? How do I keep students busy while I talk to parents and admin? Where do their book-packs go? What if they don't have enough stationery? Will I assign seats? Do I discuss expectations straight away or do a getting to know you task first? Do we run a lesson on day 1? Do I chase up behaviours now or later? How do I maintain all of this for the week and beyond? Nobody tells you that before your first day of teaching, you'll need to make hundreds of small decisions and it's those decisions that often determine how smoothly your classroom runs.In this course, we are covering everything you need to know in sequential order to ensure your first day/week of school sets the scene for the school year. This course provides a complete first day roadmap, removing the guesswork so you can teach with confidence from the first bell to the last. Coming soon!
