One ELA teacher wrote the following in her blog a couple of years ago: "The single, most important thing you have to do as a middle school teacher is figure out your classroom management systems and then put them into action." We encourage each of you to decide what your strategies, procedures, and methods will be long before your first day in a classroom of your own. If your approach doesn't work, be open to change, but do not try to do it piece meal. Know too that during student teaching you are working within someone else's management and motivation framework. Learn from this, but also know that once you have your own classroom, you will have the opportunity to start crafting your own classroom community from the beginning drawing all of the knowledge and experience that you've gained through the program. Best, Dr. Young
