33 WAYS TO START THE
YEAR OFF RIGHT!

MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION Whatever else you do, give the class the impression from the beginning that you are well organized. Your students must get the feeling right off that you are prepared and know what you are doing.	BUILD AN ATTITUDE You have the opportunity from the first day forward to help your students determine whether school is drudgery or a serious undertaking that can have its fun moments as well. If you for one moment give the impression that being in class is a chore for, that attitude will be reflected by your students.
FOSTER CURIOSITY Keep in mind that if you want your students to be curious, you have to set an atmosphere that encourages curiousty and doesn't stifle it.	START OFF SLOWLY Go over your material slowly the first grading period so that most students can find some success while the material is not too difficult.
