Yet many teachers tell us that they were never trained in methods to create these environments. In fact, teachers consistently report that disruptive student behaviors and chaotic classrooms are their biggest stressors. Many teachers end up leaving the profession because they were not supported in developing better skills to manage their classrooms.

The Check-Up Menu
The Check-Up Menu provides a roadmap for improving your classroom management skills and is intended as a guide to be used after receiving feedback from a coach or for self-development when no coach is available. The four broad areas of classroom management are divided into the critical subskills on the Check-Up Menu. Detailed rationale, descriptions, videos, forms, and other tools are provided for preparing and using each of the strategies.
CCU Resources
