#151: The #1 Classroom Management Mistake New Teachers Make During Back to School (And How to Avoid It)

from The Present Teacher Podcast · host Helena Hains

Let's be honest, classroom management can be something a lot of teachers struggle with. Especially as a new or a first year teacher. Which is why today we are going to be talking about the top mistake new or first-year teachers make when it comes to classroom management.   Over the past few years, I have coached hundreds of new and first-year teachers around the world. And they all seem to miss the same classroom management strategy. Those clip charts, blurt beans, classroom parties, and classroom stores aren't working. And this is why.   Today, we'll be diving into the top classroom management mistake teachers make, why this is the most commonly made mistake new teachers make, and what you can do to prevent it.  Grab the Book for New Teachers: https://www.thepresentteacher.com/book-2025 Download the FREE Ultimate Classroom Setup Guide Here: https://thepresentteacher.mykajabi.com/classroom-setup-guide Grab the Ultimate Classroom Setup Bundle: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Ultimate-Classroom-Setup-Bundle-12060099 Join Classroom Kickstart Mini-Course: https://www.thepresentteacher.com/classroomkickstart Get support inside The Present Teacher Circle Community: https://www.thepresentteacher.com/the-present-teacher-circle ___________________________❤️Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thepresentteacher/🔥TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@thepresentteacher🚀Website | https://thepresentteacher.com/💜YouTube | https://youtube.com/@ThePresentTeacher?si=meqMmiDHJN-0Jmlr___________________________// RESOURCES💌 Join our email list for weekly motivation | https://thepresentteacher.mykajabi.com/classroom-setup-guide🌼 Join our Community off of Facebook | https://www.thepresentteacher.com/offers/QUzcjYLT___________________________//  ABOUTI’m Helena, a coach for new and first-year teachers sharing knowledge on how to have a thriving career and personal life.The Present Teacher Podcast is a resourcefor teacher interviews, classroom setup, classroom management, and time management.
