Making Classroom Management Work - Not a Secret

The article, "The Not So Secret to Effective Classroom Management : by Jim Linsin, comes from his blog Smart Classroom Management. This particular post gets at a key to classroom managment - follow-through and consistency. It is a great refresher as one heads into the new school year. As a principal, it reminds me of making sure I am clear, as consistent as possible, persistent and fair. This article is well worth a read. Read it, critique, reflect on it and feel free to post a comment. As Linsin mentions, if you have taught more than three minutes you probably bump into this (follow-through and consistency) regularly.

While you are there you might want to check out other posts he has. It is a good website with ideas that can help new and experienced teachers (and administrators). I may well check into his book, The Dream Classroom.
