Effective, classroom management is a critical part of any learning environment but it is essential in the PreK Life Skills classroom to maximize shared and individual learning opportunities. In “Ellen’s Management”, Ms. Ellen, the Pre-Kindergarten Teacher, and her teaching colleagues have established, model, and reinforce key student environmental and instructional routines with her PreK 3 and 4-year old students. In this section, pay special attention to how Ms. Ellen uses individual schedules to focus and support learning ownership. (Framework for Teaching Cluster 3-Classroom Management: Components 2c/2d/2e)
