In this episode, educator Chris Cline shares several tips for starting the school year off right! And we are not talking about those first few exciting days or weeks of school, but rather we delve into how to keep the excitement alive when the “newness” wears off and things settle down around mid-October.

Tips from this episode:

• Learn why it is realistic to plan your lessons topically, 3-7 months in advance.
• Understand why learning inventories are great ways to get to know the students–and for the students to get to know the teachers, too.
• Find numerous ways you can show kids (outside of the classroom) that you care about them.
