Ep 139: The Single Most Effective Classroom Management System

Are you looking for a simple, positive, effective classroom management system? Listen as Caitlin shares her favorite method for managing classroom behavior and routines. The best part? It requires very little effort to implement!

In this episode, Caitlin discusses her “15-Minute Strategy,” in which students earn seconds with the goal of getting to 15 minutes. After their goal is reached, students earn a class-chosen reward! The benefits are ample, and Caitlin will outline them all.  

It’s a simple system that rewards rather than penalizes, creating a team mentality among students. So if you want the details on how to use a system that will increase accountability, streamline routines, and ensure great behavior on sub days, take a listen!
