I especially like the clipboard method of tracking participation and requests for help. These teaching tips by Mr. Tim are very useful. They help to create a productive classroom . Time is used effectively, allowing the teacher to spend more of the day instructing.
Students learn the important skills of organization and responsibility.
Mr. Tim's tips lead to better classroom management and a positive classroom climate. Students learn to be organized and responsible for themselves. The planner is also a good way to keep the communication lines open between parent and teacher. The Planner lets parents know exactly what is going on in class. Another tip that works quite well is the use of checks, passes, and sticks.
