This document discusses classroom management strategies for teachers. It outlines objectives to help teachers practice engagement strategies in the first week of school to build positive relationships with students and discipline through positive reinforcement. Specific techniques are described like learning students' names on the first day, setting clear rules and expectations, and using respectful language focused on student behavior rather than the student.
