How can we effectively set the scene for learning in our classes right from the beginning of Term 1?
Some questions/ ideas to think about:
• What climate do you want in your classroom?
• How will you make it happen?
• What methods have you seen that you can use or modify to achieve the climate that you want?
Plan for behaviour – be clear about your expectations and what your responses will be before you enter the classroom.
