Kick Off the School Year With an Effective Classroom Management Plan

Presented by Jessica Sprick, August 4, 2026

The start of the school year is a critical time for establishing a positive classroom environment. Effective teachers enter their rooms on Day 1 prepared to help students learn the routines, procedures, and expectations that lead to a productive year. They also predict and adjust elements of their management approach to prevent any concerns that occurred in previous years.

In this free webinar, teachers (and staff who support teachers) will consider the vision for an effective classroom and identify the critical components needed within their classroom management plan to reach that vision. Teachers will also identify strategies to launch their plan effectively with students from Day 1 of school.

By starting off strong, teachers can help students avoid developing bad behavioral habits and set students on a path to success.
