What teachers are saying about Classroom Management Essentials:
"I can’t say enough positive things about this app. I am in a district that keeps switching me to different grade levels and I always worry about classroom management. However, one of the best things about this app is that the model and strategies presented make sense no matter what or where you are teaching." - 3rd grade teacher
"Even with years of experience as a teacher, I found this app helpful. Dr. Garrett gave a name to a lot of the things I already do. But this will help me when I mentor future novice teachers and need to explain things about my classroom management approach." - 9th and 10th grade teacher
"Wow! I can’t believe how much I learned from this app. As a beginning teacher, there is so much I didn’t know about classroom management. I think the framework and strategies covered in this app will help me so much." - 5th grade teacher
"I am definitely going to have all my student teachers explore this app because everything that is presented is necessary and helpful. I love the name of the app because that is what this app is... the essentials! Not overdone, just boiled down to the essentials." - student teaching supervisor
