Teaching Tip!

My older sister is teaching grade 11 and 12 chemistry and I asked her the other day, her best teaching tip that she could give me. She said that over her 2.5 years of teaching, she realized that you need to establish a solid routine. You should not let your students get away with inappropriate behaviour. If you let the inappropriate behaviour slide once, everyone will expect their bad behaviour to slide and everything will just be chaotic. She said that you almost need to train your students ex. in her class, when its a lab day, the students know to bring a pencil/pen and that is it. You have to stick to your rules/guidelines.
