The first bell rings and thirty small faces are looking at you. This module is the hour-by-hour of that day — what to have waiting on the desks before students arrive, how to turn putting away supplies into the first thing that tells you who they are, and how to teach a procedure so it actually sticks: model it right, model it wrong, then right again. You'll see how one teacher ran hallways, restrooms, and the lunchroom so smoothly that principals stopped to watch, and how a weekly team draft turned seating charts into something students competed to earn. The day the tone is set for the entire year, set on purpose — with a checklist so nothing gets forgotten in the rush.
What's Inside
- The hour by hour plan for the first day, from the moment students walk in to the final bell
- The simple way to teach any procedure so it actually sticks, even if it didn't on the first try
- The routines that make hallways, restrooms, and lunch run themselves all year
- The weekly team draft that turns good behavior into something students compete for
- A checklist so nothing gets forgotten in the rush of the first day
- The relief of walking in with a plan for every minute, instead of hoping it goes okay
