Manage mats help support cooperative learning in your classroom. Place the mats in the center of your tables. Each pupil has a number and a letter. They have two partners: a shoulder partner and face partner. During the lesson, assign pupils to work with their shoulder or face partner to encourage talking with each other, sharing ideas and collaborative learning. The numbers and letter assignments can be used for both table group roles and whole class roles.

29-year veteran teacher reveals exact scripts for classroom crises. Real words for real moments. Open on your phone. Ready in 60 seconds. Calm Classroom System™ “Marjan, you are making a difference in the lives of students and in the world.” — Harry Wong, author of The First Days of School There was a day my class was completely out of control. My principal was watching the whole thing. I couldn’t get them back. Not that day. Not in front of him. I’ve been teaching for 29 years. I’ve had chairs thrown. I’ve been sworn at in front of 30 students waiting to see if I’d lose my temper. I’ve had students defy me publicly while the class watched to see what I’d do next. I’ve had that one student who needed police called in when things escalated beyond anything a classroom was built to handle. Nobody handed me a script for any of those moments. I had to figure it out the hard way, over years of mistakes that cost me sleep. This is what I wish I’d had on day one.

This resource set includes baseballs numbered from one to forty-eight as well as twelve baseballs that are not numbered that can be used multiple ways.

This packet is a great idea for classroom management! In this packet, you will find six sheets of “Your Turn To Talk Tickets!” Students might place two or three tickets at the top corners of their desk during a direct instruction activity. When a student has a turn to talk in response to the activity, after speaking that student can give you one of his/her tickets. When the student’s tickets are gone, he/she can not talk again until the activity is different. You can make many, many variations for these tickets! Additionally, there are six other pages of “You Owe Me” tickets. These tickets might be issued to students when they forget and interrupt instruction and other students’ learning. These tickets state that they will owe you time! These tickets suggest that time is taken in increments and not all at one time!
