4 Classroom Management Mistakes New Teachers Make

Stellar Teacher Podcast Show Notes Graphic (3).png

I am thrilled for you to listen to today’s episode because it’s geared towards first year teachers, but also a great reminder for veterans. You’ll be hearing from my guest speaker, Dr. Lori Friesen, who has made it her life’s work to support new teachers. I love her mission because I could totally relate to that feeling of knowing my college education was spectacular and yet when I walked into the classroom those first few years, I could have used her help!

Lori really touches upon all the different parts of teaching that may not be addressed during college. One point I wanted to focus on was classroom management. No matter how great your supervisor was during your student teaching, it’s a whole new situation when you are given your roster and students arrive on that first day of school. Once you listen to these tips you’ll definitely feel more prepared for the kids that walk through your door!

Host of the Beginning Teacher Talk podcast, Dr. Lori Friesen believes that just because you’re a beginning elementary teacher, there is no need for you to struggle like one. Dr. Lori taught in Hong Kong, Japan, and Canada and at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta before completing her PhD and publishing the Beginning Teacher’s Handbook for Elementary School, which has since expanded to become the popular R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy.

In this episode we discuss:

Reasons why teachers feel unprepared during those first few years of teaching
4 common mistakes new (and veteran) teachers make when it comes to classroom management
Tips for creating classroom systems that work
How to keep classroom management fun
