Best Back To School Classroom Management Resources For Teachers & Students

Breaking Barriers: Overcoming Challenges in the Classroom

The start of the school year is a great time to implement your classroom rules and procedures for you and your students.

Having classroom procedures and rules will allow for smooth transitions in class because students will know and understand the class’s expectations.

One of the hardest things to do as a teacher is classroom management. But don’t worry! With time and experience it does get easier! Below are some of my classroom management resources that I use all the time in my class. It has truly made a difference!

Remember there is no right answer when it comes to classroom management. And you may have to do things a little different for each class that you teach and that’s ok! Find what works for you and your students.

I have also come to find that putting accountability back on the students not only helps them but helps you too! Yes, we care about their education and grades, but they need to care too!

Here are the resources that I use to help run a smooth and effective classroom.

Cell Phone Policy & Log:
This is a classroom management resource that is used to track the use of students’ cell phones in the classroom. This is a great way to make sure students are using the most of their class time and only have their cell phones for educational purposes or when permitted in class.
*Calculator Chart  that I purchased from Amazon for my classroom.
*Please make sure this aligns with your school’s policy on cell phone use before implementing.
Discipline Log:
This is a classroom management resource that is used to track student behaviors in class. This is a great way to keep track of student behavior for parent teacher conferences, administration, comments for grades, etc. as well as having proof of the steps you have taken prior to writing a referral.
Missing Work Slip:
This is a classroom management resource that is used to track missing student work. This is a great way to put accountability on the student for owning their work and their choices.
Permission de Pipi:
This is a classroom management resource that is used to track the use of students leaving the classroom. This is a great way to end the revolving door of your classroom.
Request to Retest:
This is a classroom management resource that is used to track student retakes. This is a great way to put accountability on the student for owning their grades and their choices.
Tardy Policy & Log:
This is a classroom management resource that is used to track student tardies to class. It is a great way to hold students accountable and to make sure they get to class on time each day.
You Rock! Euro Reward System:
Do you feel like you are running out of options with your students?
Do you need a little help with keeping students on task or motivated?
I have a solution for you! One of my favorite reward systems to use in my classes is the You Rock! Euro Reward System!
This is a great way to keep students focused, on task, follow classroom rules and procedures and help them to be accountable.
Perfect for middle school and high school students, I mean who doesn’t want to earn some fun stuff!
Detailed instructions are included with this classroom resource.

You can purchase each of these resources on my TPT store to meet your own classroom needs or they are available for purchase in my Classroom Management Bundle.

Detailed instructions are included with each resource.

As always, I hope that you have found this information useful and helpful to you!
