there is zero correlation between creative talent and the materials and equipment used. The same can be said about an effective classroom management plan. A simple set of rules and consequences handprinted on ordinary poster board is all you need. You see, there is no magic in the plan itself. It has no power to influence behavior. Only you have the power to influence behavior by creating a classroom your students want to be part of and then strictly—obsessively—holding them accountable. Therefore, your plan doesn’t need to be elaborate, complex, or involved. It just needs to be followed.
