Free Resource for Elementary School Teachers

free classroom management plan for teachers

It may only be July, but stores already have back-to-school supplies on display, and teachers are making plans for the new school year. Do you know a beginning teacher thinking about behavior management, or a veteran teacher looking to revamp her plan?

Our sister company, Personalized Learning Games (PLG), recently published a fabulous Classroom Management Plan that covers four main components: classroom set-up and organization, rules and procedures, rewards and consequences, and effective management throughout the year.

Sure, it’s fun to browse Pinterest and teacher blogs, but teachers don’t need to spend the rest of their summer searching for ideas. Start with PLG’s plan and free printables, made by teachers for teachers.

    Chief of Research and Learning Content

    BIOGRAPHY

    Dr. Childress obtained her PhD in psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to coming to 3C Institute, she served as a research associate and a postdoctoral fellow in the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill working on a longitudinal imaging study aimed at identifying the early markers of autism through behavioral and imaging methodologies. She has 19 years of autism research experience, during which she has examined the behavioral, personality, and cognitive characteristics of individuals with autism and their family members. Dr. Childress also has experience developing behavioral and parent report measurement tools, coordinating multi-site research studies, and collecting data from children and families. She has taught courses and seminars in general child development, autism, and cognitive development at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
