-Make sure every minute of class time is planned and students are doing meaningful work aimed at meeting the learning goals...students have plenty of social time between classes, at lunch, after school, and on weekends
-Students should be dismissed by the teacher at the end of the period (not lining up at the door)...students are dismissed after having reflected (always a good way to assess student's level of understanding) on the learning that took place during the lesson
-After the initial honeymoon phase at the beginning of the school year, students will start to try to figure out what they can get away with...consistency in rules and expectations are appreciated by all students and fellow staff members
-After one week, you probably have an idea of a couple of students that will help us become better teachers by posing different challenges...it's best to be proactive with these students and go out of your way to establish a positive relationship and let them know you care about them and want them to be successful
