1. Hold your ground with students in a positive manner. Saying no is not always a bad thing. I can always say no by saying: "yes, when..." or "yes, as soon as..." or "yes, in/at (time)..."
2. Classroom management starts with prevention, but I need to have strategies for intervention when the prevention falls through.
3. Delay the answer to a why by having kids approach you with the "why" question once you get everyone started on their work.

First Thing's First
Hi, I'm Kelly Casber. I am about to embark on an adventure as a first year teacher. This will be my first time being in school in a non-student role. The most exciting part of teaching for me is helping students find new talents and interests. I also love the professional collaboration that transpires between teachers. I hope to find teaching a challenging and exciting career that leads me through many new doors.
