TEACHING GOALS & OBJECTIVES:

What are your goals and objectives for this class?

Class Environment: Before Meeting Your Class

How will you arrange/organize your classroom?
Seating: Depending if the tables are individual I will
arrange them in even columns and rows. If the
classroom has group tables I will arrange the students
in groups. Groups will be a free choice but if I see that
there are distractions there will be assigned seatings.

Organization for students: will have binders that

include a table of contents and organized notes. The
binder will also include a hole-punched folder for
students to place assignments and notes. Students will
have a shelf in the classroom to place their binders in
hopes they won’t be misplaced.

Overall classroom organization: Bins/Folders/Shelves

labeled and organized for the following categories:
Graded papers, missing work, finished work,
curriculum/unit worksheets, missculaneous paperwork.

books, legos, and fidgeting for free time purposes.

My desk will be located at the back or side of the room.

share them?

will be best for classroom management. I will present
the rules that I add to the assignments so that they feel
included. For the first couple of weeks of curating our
