In this article, the author discusses the importance of having a daily classroom agenda, and provides some tips for developing and implementing an effective agenda. An agenda is simply a detailed list of all the things students must do and what teachers hope to accomplish on a particular school day. It should include lesson plans, special classes students must attend, assemblies, recess, lunch, switching and traveling times, and even restroom breaks. The author has found that when students know what to expect during the day, they are more likely to concentrate, focus, and succeed at what teachers have planned for them. An agenda can also be useful at the end of the school day as a way to review what has been accomplished.
