Description
In this episode, I’m giving you a front seat to the teaching assistants I’ve had in my classroom for years… except they’re not people. They’re systems. Predictable, powerful routines that quietly run the room so I can actually teach with FAR fewer low-level disruptions.
I’m walking you through the non-negotiable routines that have transformed my classroom from chaotic to calm, and how you can start implementing them immediately.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why routines are the purest form of proactive classroom management (you'll hear me nerd out about this A LOT)
- How a tight entry routine sets the tone before you say a word
- What makes a starter task actually reduce low-level disruption (and how to do it right)
- The early finisher routine that stops you from needing to be split into 10 different humans just to respond to the needs popping up
- How to fix the messy middle with visual transition slides
- Why exit tasks are more than reflection, they’re behaviour gold
- How “turn-it-in trays” help you triage learning without drowning in marking
- The exit routine that prevents the Black Friday stampede
