CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATION
Students thrive in a well-managed learning environment. The goal of any teacher is to provide engaging and fascinating lessons that captivate students and help them learn required concepts, but none of these goals can happen without classroom management. According to a research project by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, students with teachers classified as the most effective gained 52 percentile points in terms of their achievement during the active year. Conversely, students with teachers deemed the least effective gained only 14 percent over the same time period.

Positive Learning Environment
If other teachers or parts of the school don't have the same expectations of good behavior and listening skills, students may feel confused by what is required of them. Rather trying to go it alone, consider working with the principal or other teachers to create a school-wide positive learning environment that exemplifies all the qualities a student should exhibit at all times of the day – not just in your classroom.

Lesson Plans
Elementary and secondary teachers spend approximately 15-20 hours of their work week lesson planning, preparing and marking. According to the Department of Education's Teacher Workload Survey, planning is one of the most time-consuming activities, and it often has to happen outside school hours. Teachers surveyed reported that they spend an average of 13 hours working in the evening or on the weekends, and the majority of this work is related to planning or marking. Because a good lesson plan is crucial to meeting learning objectives and ensuring students understand material being presented, it's important for teachers to have access to great resources, be they online or at their school.

Other Teachers
Teachers, especially those who have spent years in the classroom, often have extensive records of their lesson plans over the years and these can be valuable to new and seasoned educators alike. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel five days a week, consider asking a teacher at your current school or at a nearby location if they have any relevant lesson plans for upcoming topics in the curriculum. While it may not work to use the lesson plan verbatim, it will at least help establish a groundwork for what should and should not be covered that day.
Guest Speakers
Some weeks will be busier than others, but that doesn't mean lessons need to suffer. If a teacher knows they'll be away from school or unable to complete a lesson plan during a particularly busy season, consider finding a guest lecturer familiar with the topic at hand who can fill class time on those days. Options include other teachers in your school district, community college professors or professionals in the area.
New Teachers
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 150,000 new teaching jobs will be created between 2015 and 2025, but a report by the National Commission on Teaching and America's future found that 20 percent of all new teachers leave the profession within the first three years. Being a teacher is always demanding, but new teachers face challenges and pressures that can be overwhelming during the first few years. Rather than focusing on trying to do and learn everything at once, new teachers must remember to be patient with themselves while also taking advantage of resources and leaning on their teaching community.

Mentors
In many schools, new teachers are assigned mentors to help them navigate the complexities of their first year while also introducing them to key members of the teaching community. Mentorships are excellent opportunities for new teachers to ask questions, receive feedback and get support. While most schools assign mentors upon hiring, don't be afraid to ask about setting up such a relationship if the school doesn't have a formal program in place.
Professional Organizations
Whether looking to be part of the Association for Middle Level Education, the National Education Association or the National Council for the Social Studies, new teachers have countless opportunities to be involved with both niche and overarching organizations that can provide support and assistance in meaningful ways. These organizations typically have annual conferences, local chapters and events spread throughout the year for teachers to learn about the latest research in their field while also making contact with other teachers in similar roles. TeachersFirst maintains a list of current professional organizations within primary and secondary education.

Teaching Supplies
According to a recent report by The Education Market Association, nearly all teachers spend their own money to ensure the children in their classrooms have access to necessary supplies – to the tune of $500 per year in 2016. While teachers understand some of their student's parents are unable to supply necessary items and many school districts are strapped for cash, it's important that teachers have access to affordable supplies so lesson plans and learning objectives don't have to be sacrificed due to lack of materials.
Online Teaching Supply Resources
- Classroom Direct
A one-stop-shop for school supplies, Classroom Direct provides discounted prices for items commonly purchased by teachers due to the sheer volume of their sales.
- Discount School Supply

Real-World Teaching Supply Resources
- Donations from Local Stores
Before spending their own hard-earned dollars, teachers should check with local businesses to see if they would be willing to donate supplies. While larger national chains may not have the authority to provide free inventory, smaller home-owned businesses may be willing to either donate their own stock or consider sponsoring a classroom to provide all the necessary supplies for the academic year.
Supply Drive
We have all seen canned food drives taking place at stores or events, but how often has this idea been leveraged for school supplies? Consider asking local businesses or the organizers of upcoming events if they would be willing to let patrons or participants know that representatives of the school will be on-site collecting new and gently used school supplies for the upcoming academic year. While it may not cover all the necessary items, it's a good start on the yearly supply list.
There are countless tools available that keep teachers from having to reinvent the wheel to accomplish their goals. As technology becomes more prominent in the classroom, educators are learning how to incorporate these tools into lessons, assignments, projects and examinations to not only provide fascinating learning opportunities, but also to ensure students are familiar with these tools and can utilize them properly.
Online Teaching Tool Resources
- ComicMaster

Projectors
Whether sharing the contents of a piece of paper or transferring a website onto a smart board, projectors are often a teacher's best friend in the classroom as they make it easy to convey information in various formats quickly. Many projectors are now equipped with document cameras, meaning teachers can place any item under the camera and it will immediately appear on the screen for the entire classroom to see. This is especially helpful for types of documents that otherwise may not easily show up on the screen.
Scanners and Printers
While it may be a stretch to say that teachers spend most of their working days making copies and stapling packets together, it's not far from the truth. With some teachers having more than 400 students for whom they are responsible, having enough copies of reading materials, assignments, quizzes and explanatory papers is key to a successful lesson. While rules on scanning and printing vary by school district, most allow teachers unlimited use as long as they provide their own paper.
Teaching Websites & Apps
The sharing of free information via the Internet has revolutionized the teaching profession, making it easier for educators to gain access to materials and resources related both to their subject area and best practices in teaching and learning initiatives. No longer do teachers need to sift through books to find relevant information; instead, websites and apps make it easier to create engaging lessons that weave together digital media alongside content students must absorb to be successful in the classroom. The resources listed below are examples of how teachers can glean valuable information from the internet.

Librarians
School librarians can provide qualified insight to help students synthesize ideas and information. Teachers working in partnership with a librarian can ensure students have access to proper materials when completing assignments and projects while also helping students learn how to properly use primary and secondary sources in research. Many librarians also oversee computer areas, providing the opportunity for students to learn how to use technology in a supervised and supportive environment.
School Counselors
School counselors help students in areas of academic excellence, social development, career decisions and navigating their personal lives. While teachers may struggle to find time to address these areas of a student's life outside lessons, school counselors' primary role is to provide direct service to learners and their families. If a teacher suspects a student is having problems at home or struggling to focus, school counselors are their allies in ensuring the student is cared for and any issues are addressed.

Meeting Today's Teaching Challenges
Cyberbullying
As technology continues to become more pervasive in the lives of both adults and adolescents, cyberbullying is on the rise. According to the nonprofit No Bullying, 25 percent of teens have been repeatedly bullied via their cell phone, while 52 percent of young people overall report having a cyberbullying experience. Though it can often be difficult for teachers to ascertain who is being bullied and by whom while also trying to lead class, the University of Chicago at Illinois offers tips on how to keep an eye out for signs while also providing information on what to do once cyberbully behavior is recognized.
Classroom Security
The goal of every teacher is to provide a safe space for their students to learn, ask questions and gain the skills they'll need to succeed in life. Classroom security is a topic that must be addressed to ensure these goals are possible. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that public schools have increased safety and security measures in recent years to prevent further tragedies in today's learning centers. 93 percent now have controlled access, while 75 percent use security cameras for monitoring. While no teacher can anticipate a security violation, there are ways to be prepared if the unthinkable happens. The ALICE Training institute provides a list of seven tips to guard against safety issues in the classroom.
Managing a Classroom
One of the top challenges teachers across the world face is ensuring the individual needs of every student are met while also providing overarching, engaging lessons. Finding the perfect balance for a class – each of which has its own personality – takes time, resources, and most importantly, realistic expectations. While it may be a new teacher's goal to only ever teach highly engaging lessons that tick every box, this may not always be possible. Over time, however, teachers will gather resources that allow them to focus less on planning and more on engagement.
Personal & Professional Life Balance
Despite the average school day lasting 6.7 hours, a study by Scholastic and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation found that teachers actually work an average of 53 hours per week – without counting extra work done during the evenings and on weekends. Most teachers are supremely dedicated to their students and indeed feel called to the profession; still, it's important for them to find work/life balance if they want to avoid burnout. Education World offers five different strategies to help teachers disconnect from work and rejuvenate from long days.
Navigating Parent Involvement
Ask any teacher, and they will often tell you there seems to be two types of parents they deal with: those who they can never get in touch with and those who are staring over their shoulder. Having a good relationship with a student's parents is incredibly important to ensuring a student feels safe, supported and engaged in their learning, yet some parents don't make it easy for teachers. Monster's Teaching Community provides a helpful list of how teachers can work with five difficult types of parents.
