Do you have a Healthy Meeting Policy for your school meetings? Here’s a simple one I discovered recently. Only 3 parts! 1. Always serve water. 2. Always serve a fruit or vegetable. 3.

If you do not have good management in a kindergarten classroom, you will not be teaching and students will not be learning. You must have procedures for everything…lining up, where to put finished work, how to sit and listen to a story, how to transition from…Read More

I reviewed them all in about 15 minutes.
