Join me in this year-long series on classroom management. Each month, we will look at tips and tricks for creating a better classroom management plan. This is the eighth in the series, with a focus on classroom updates.

It's the middle of the year and the honeymoon is long over. The routine feels, well, routine. Kids are getting antsy, and your classroom is looking like it has seen better days. A few classroom updates can make a big difference in keeping students engaged and your space running smoothly. Whether you're looking to declutter, rearrange, or add fresh decor, a mid-year reset can boost both productivity and morale.

We will discuss:

• Seating
• Partners
• Bulletin boards
• Overall classroom layout
• New systems
