Entering the Classroom, Do Nows, and Setting the Tone

In Episode 2, we get into actual teaching practice — starting at the very beginning of class. We cover thresholding and welcoming students into your space, building an intentional Do Now structure, and setting the tone before you ever say a word. Whether you're a veteran teacher or just finding your rhythm, this episode will challenge you to audit your first ten minutes and make them count.Topics covered:Thresholding and greeting students by nameWhat to include in an effective Do Now (SEL, review, and preview)Active monitoring and taking accurate attendanceCalling the class to attention with confidenceWhy consistency in your routines matters more than you thinkMood Meter & RULER Document: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wqUSxq6BOQEPysKpf1JpW37FF2KXnhB3/view?usp=sharingCurrently Reading: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David GrannContact: [email protected] the podcast: buymeacoffee.com/bopmanteachingMusic by Skilsel and SigmaMusicArt via Pixabay
