This is a solutions book that shows how to organize and structure a classroom to create a safe and positive environment for student learning and achievement to take place. It offers 50 classroom procedures that can be applied, changed, adapted, into classroom routines for any classroom management plan at any grade level. Each procedure is presented with a consistent format that breaks it down and tells how to teach it and what the outcome of teaching it will be.

The information is supplemented with 40 QR Codes that take the learning beyond the basic text.
