Abstract:
Throughout my college comer, I have been preparing to become an effective classroom teacher. I have spent much of my time perfecting my skills in lesson-planning and in learning effective methods of classroom management, yet I know that I will need more than these things in order to be successful during my first few years in the classroom. For this reason, I decided to make a Classroom Starter Kit which will serve to better prepare me for organizing and running my own classroom. This kit includes a plan for conducting meaningful activities the first day of school, newsletter templates for encouragement positive teacher parent communication, a rubric for use during parent-teacher conferences, and a classroom website among many other items.
