This document outlines an agenda for a new teacher training session on classroom management. The session will define effective classroom management, have teachers write management plans for their grade levels, and identify strategies for organizing effective learning environments. Teachers will work in groups by grade to discuss most and least effective teachers they've had, define effective teachers, and analyze behavior management scenarios. The goal is for teachers to establish classroom expectations and management strategies through reflection and collaboration.
