Summary

The beginning of the year has a mixture of emotions that come along with it. You can feel excited to build a routine, sad to be losing your summer time, and anxious because you have a lot to do in a short amount of time. To help with this transition into a new season, we want to offer a checklist that can center your thoughts and spend some time focusing on other areas. Procedures play a BIG role in ensuring that your year starts off right. As you start thinking about all the things on your to-do list, our best recommendation is to create a checklist. Yes, we love checklists and that’s because they work. We are going to share some categories and give you a few examples for each, then we will share 3 different strategies you can use to actually teach and review them with students, and finally we will share 3 important tips to remember!

0:00.0	Well, hello there top teachers. We are your host, Bridget Spackman.
0:04.0	And Michelle Emerson, and we are here to make your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:12.8	It seems like our time is like starting a countdown because August is when we need to start shifting our minds from relaxing on the beach to
0:22.1	preparing to head back into the classroom. In this episode, we want to share our ultimate
0:27.7	guide for teaching procedures at the beginning of the year so that you can feel more confident
0:33.5	and prepared. But first, we're going to hear a time-sucking hurdle and you're going to instantly understand
0:39.8	why we chose this time-sucking hurdle for this episode.
0:43.7	This TSA comes from Daisy, who says, I'm going to be a first-year sixth-grade teacher.
0:50.7	I'm a little overwhelmed with behavior expectations slash rules slash procedures for the first
0:56.8	day. Please help. Daisy, we are speaking to you in this entire episode. I completely understand
1:05.6	where you're coming from just having that very first year. You don't really know what to do and where to go and how to start

1:18.2	will hopefully answer your questions that you have for your TSC, I will say to lean on your team

1:35.0	like very unique to me and have things be, you know, just very different because I wanted to be
1:40.3	my own teacher and I didn't want to follow what everyone else was doing, that was a mistake.
1:45.3	You need to really just lean on them, beg, borrow, and steal, and then you can revamp it as you
1:53.2	start to grow in that profession. But it is very overwhelming. Take a deep breath and just know
2:00.0	that you're going to make it through.
2:01.6	We don't know how. We never really understand how we make it through, but we always do.
2:06.6	I think that's really good advice to lean on your team teachers. I mean, you should be doing that
