Publisher's Synopsis
How do teachers make every minute count--setting up schedules, the classroom space, and routines--so they can do their most effective teaching and get children into the groove of independent learning? Through compelling video footage, teachers visit classrooms where they'll discover dozens of easy-to-do, time-saving procedures and tools--from instant transitions to stress-free homework folders. Short, focused segments help teachers pinpoint areas they need help with immediately. This in-depth resource may be used flexibly in any PD setting. Through an engaging watch-and-discuss format, Kelly Bergman, a master of classroom organization and management, helps teachers build skills in four areas essential to teaching and learning success: organization and time management, routines and behavior management, instructional planning, and positive parent communication!
