The First Two Weeks of School

Froschauer discusses the importance of good classroom management and organization for creating an environment conducive to learning. Students don't learn classroom expectations, routines, and rules without repeated instruction and practice. They must also realize the benefit of the structure being provided to them. What may be seen as a classroom that represents disciplined students is actually a class full of students who understand and follow the classroom expectations, routines, and rules they have internalized. With good classroom organization, this brings order to the classroom, giving students a chance to learn and providing teachers time to teach.
