🧑‍🏫 3 Easy Ways to Fix a Chaotic Classroom

Feeling like your class is out of control?
Try these 3 simple tips — they really work!

🪑 1. Use a Seating Chart

Don’t just let students pick seats.
A smart seating chart helps stop problems before they start!
👀 Know who distracts who?
📝 Put chatty kids apart.
🛠️ Put frequent movers near supplies.
One good seating chart can cut your problems in half!

⏱️ 2. Set a Strong Start-of-Class Routine

What students do in the first 5 minutes sets the tone for the whole period.
Here’s what works:

• Greet students at the door 🙋‍♂️

• Keep the door open 🚪

• Post a warm-up on the board 📋

• Use a timer so they stay focused ⏲️

When students walk in and get to work right away, the day runs smoother.

📉 3. Try Progressive Discipline

Start small. Build up only if needed:

1. 👀 A quick look

2. 💬 A quiet reminder

3. ✍️ “See me after class”

4. 📞 Call home or lunch detention

Your goal? Change behavior, not punish. This keeps YOU in control — not chaos.

🎯 These 3 tools make teaching easier and your classroom calmer.
