Effectively managed classrooms promote student achievement, lead to a positive classroom culture, and allow for teachers and students to make the most of instructional time. When the element of technology integration is added to a lesson, it becomes absolutely necessary that a teacher employs the best classroom management practices to ensure successful outcomes.

 * **Acceptable Use Policy - (Begins on pg. 37 of Student Code of Conduct)**
 * **Tech Violations, Traditional Equivalents**
 * Classroom Management Think Sheet
 * **Rules example from Education World**
 * **Procedures are an established way of doing things and often involve a series of actions conducted in a certain order or manner.**
 * ***As you develop your classroom behavior plan, consider how fairly your consequences are distributed in relation to rules vs. procedures.**
