How does this translate into the classroom?

• Complete and submit thorough lesson plans.
• Greet and welcome students into your classroom.
• Follow with consistency your classroom management plan.
• Demand academic excellence during lessons. 
• Demonstrate with-it-ness. Constantly walk around and monitor your classroom.  *The only time you should be sitting during a class is if you are sitting next to a student or group wherein you are providing them with scaffolds. 
• End each class (and the day) positively.

Teach your heart out !
