 Next Steps
Classroom Management Journal: For ONE day, reflect on your day
in the classroom. Write down student behaviors that you encountered
(minimum 2; max 4) and explain how you handled one of the behaviors.
Describe any strategies or techniques utilized. Then reflect on the
outcome. Was it positive? Was it negative? Was it just okay? If negative
or just okay, what do you think could be done differently?

Please bring reflection to the next New Teacher’s Meeting to

discuss.
