However, it is still imperative that a beginning teacher has clear strategies for classroom management that are put into place before the first day of class even begins.

Personal phones and specific apps will be utilized in activities, they will be given time to search things, play games, and many sorts of other activities that will all greatly add to the lessons and help students really learn what I am attempting to teach them.

This tells students that in my class it is not okay to bully others, it is not okay to make anyone (including themselves) feel inferior, it is not okay to not appreciate someone’s effort, it is not okay to judge someone on their difference, and so on. This is the ultimate rule in my life, I believe that if more people followed it the world would be a better place, so it will also be the ultimate rule in my
