If you’re heading back to school for the start of a new school year or term, the Resources for Teaching website have a wide variety of teaching resources to save you valuable time preparing lessons, activities and developing classroom management systems that actually work!

Here are some of our back to school must haves that your students will love using in the classroom:

1) Whole Class Reward Mazes and Tickets:

It can be tricky getting children to work as a team and demonstrate good behaviour as a class. This is especially true for casual teachers who are working with a class of new students as there is always one or two children that try to test the boundaries when an unfamiliar face is teaching them.

Whole class behaviour management systems that can be quickly implemented and encourage students to work together to their best ability is a lifesaver! The Resources for Teaching website has class reward mazes and tickets that are simple and easy to incorporate into any classroom. Includes a variety of mazes for students to work cooperatively to earn whole class rewards! Students begin at the start ...
... and colour in a box every time they show good behaviour. When students reach the star they earn the reward in the coloured star or in version 2 they pull a reward ticket. The reward tickets are great because teachers can filter through and use the ones they like! Best of all, most of the rewards are completely free and intrinsic which is proven to be most effective because it’s internally rewarding.

2) Watercolour Class Jobs:
