Episode Details
Back to Episodes35. Why Is My Kindergarten Class Suddenly Getting Harder to Manage?
Description
Does it feel like your kindergarten class was doing SO well and then suddenly...they weren't? The routines you practiced are getting sloppy, students are talking more, and you're repeating directions you swear they were following just fine last week.
In this episode, we're talking about why kindergarten classroom management can suddenly feel harder a few weeks into the school year and why you probably don't need to throw out your behavior system and start over. You'll learn how to make an overwhelming behavior problem feel more manageable by choosing one expectation to reteach, getting really clear about what you want students to do, and looking for opportunities to reinforce the positive behavior you want to see more often.
If you're already Googling new kindergarten classroom management strategies because it feels like everything that was working suddenly isn't, this episode will give you a simple place to start.
