Beginning of the School Year Checklist for Teachers - Get Your Classroom Ready!

This comprehensive beginning of the year school checklist is beneficial and helpful for new teachers as well as seasoned teachers. It walks you through 88 items which ought to be established before the first day of school; these items are categorized by standard operating procedures (i.e. beginning class, interruptions, etc.) and rules as well as accountability (i.e. technology, academic feedback, etc.). Three check-off columns are provided: “Yes”/ “No, and Should Have”, and “Not Required”. As you review your list of rules, procedures, and routines, check the column that pertains to your classroom.
