New Semester – New Norms

As we move into the new semester, remember to set your classroom norms. It’s also important to remember to set norms for the routines in your classroom. A day or two before you plan to have students work in groups, set norms for this. A day or two before they begin SSR+, set norms for this. Do this for all the routines that will be in place for the semester. Setting time aside for students to have a voice in classroom norms will pay off dividends in the end.
