In this episode, I discuss how to prepare for the first week of school as a new teacher. The main focus is on classroom management, building relationships with students and parents, and establishing routines and procedures during the first week.

I also share a detailed master plan for the first day of school, tips for getting to know students, and a guide to running a tight ship in your classroom.

In this episode, we explore:

• How the first week of school is an opportunity to establish expectations and build relationships with students.
• Creating a master plan for the first day of school to ensure a smooth start.
• Getting to know students and allowing them to know you to help establish a positive classroom culture.
• Setting clear expectations for academics and instruction, including grading criteria, homework policies, and assessment strategies, is important from the beginning.
