The Teach Joyfully Podcast Lisa Burns

Classroom management is the backbone, the framework that supports everything else you do in your classroom. In fact, it's impossible to teach well if your classroom isn't running smoothly. If your students aren't meeting your behavior expectations, things are going to fall apart.
In this week's episode, I talk about my simple behavior management system. Learn how I help K-3 students begin to take responsibility, track behavior patterns, and communicate with parents without a lot of fuss.
