Great ideas on how to set up your classroom for student engagement.
Martha – ALVARADO ISD (verified owner) –
Great course for new teachers. Presenter shares her 10 favorite procedures that make a classroom more efficient when teaching. I took away a few favorites that I can instill with my GT students. She also shares three books which she highly recommended for efficient teaching. Having a classroom culture was probably my favorite of her 10. I strongly feel this is important at the beginning of the year and sets the tone for the rest of the year.

The strategies within this course are very helpful. I think these are some things that first year teachers would greatly benefit from. I also know as a veteran teacher, I was able to reflect on things I have done and how to improve for my students.
