Classroom decorating advice for new teachers...
1. Less is MORE
2. No teacher "nest"
3. Think about organization of materials and furniture
4. Maximize traffic flow in your room
5. No premade charts needed

**Your room does not have to finished before the 1st day of school!

A5: Principals must pick up trash, sweep, mow, pull weeds..kids have to see that we will do these tasks. It’s up to ALL of us to keep our school clean! I now have kids picking up trash and cleaning up messes that aren’t theirs. Model what you expect to see in others! #LeadLAP

@tedlund1 What if you got it all with the lab classroom model our TC developers run?

[Sara Weintraub (Berg) @missskbee]

This is a great mindset for scaffolding students into independence in your workshops and beyond! Nothing is more powerful than watching students take charge of conferences, small groups, whole class conversations and much more! #tcrwp #studentindependence

The teacher determines the tone for the year- not the labels of his students @unfoldthesoul #LearningFIRST @fdlschools

New Teachers -- When that first tough conversation has to happen with a student or parent, seek advice from an experienced colleague who LOVES their job. Ask them how they'd handle it, have them proofread an email...They've been there, they've survived and they would LOVE to help

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Today a few of my teachers worked on a bulletin board. It wasn’t their’s; it wasn’t necessarily even their hallway. But it needed to be done... and they stepped up to do it. That’s how great teachers roll. They have pride in their school. They see a need... and they fill it!
