Classroom Management: Tips To Save You Time and Sanity This School Year
Have you ever
...felt like you cannot get your students attention?
...noticed a time where your classroom seemed out of control?
...released your students to work, only for them to have a bunch of questions?
And all the teachers said…duh! It’s teaching in 2025.
When we do surveys to see what teachers are wanting professional development on, it’s almost always classroom management.
(That’s why at Germinate Conference we have two categories for classroom instruction for content and strategy)
A few years ago, Hannah taught a session on classroom management that lives rent free in our brains. Every single one of us uses at least one if not all of the strategies she taught.
And in June, Sarah and Hannah traveled to teacher conferences to teach these strategies. And then we realized, we have never actually written a blog about them. Whoops.
Here is our “we are SO SORRY for gatekeeping this” blog to remedy our wrongdoings just in time for the start of the new school year.
So get out your paper and pencil, take some notes and get ready to save some time and sanity with these three classroom management tips.
3 Classroom Management Tips To Save You Time and Sanity This School Year
One verbal and two non-verbal strategies to get (and keep) your student’s attention:
💬Call & Response
Fill in the blank
“One, two, three all ______ on ______.”
You know it, you love it (or love to hate it). It’s a simple and common call and response. This is an attention getting strategy where the teacher makes a statement and the students respond in unison with the goal of them noticing that it's time to listen up.
Some common calls and responses are…
Hocus Pocus ➡️Everybody Focus
All Set ➡️You bet
Ready to Rock ➡️Ready to Roll
Macaroni & Cheese ➡️Everybody Freeze
Oh me ➡️Oh my
For upper levels, this might sound silly or elementary, but you don’t know it until you try it. And by trying it, I mean actually commit to doing it for a while before throwing in the towel.
Some modified ideas would be just a statement that you say that alerts the kids to stop chatting like “Eyes and ears up here.” You could also use a noise like a portable doorbell to get their attention.
The kicker with this classroom management strategy is to teach it, practice it, and perfect it. This isn’t something that just works immediately and you don’t need to remind students what your expectations are when the call and response happens.
They need to know their expectations – are they supposed to just stop talking, are they supposed to be in their seats, are they supposed to look up front? Communicate those expectations to them and watch what happens!
2. ❄️ Freeze Body
I am notoriously a mover and a shaker when I’m talking. I will pace, wave my arms like I just don’t care, and basically create chaos anytime I am presenting.
What I found out wayyyy too late in my teaching career is that all that movement is a distraction. And as a teacher I am usually trying to get students to pay attention to the words I am saying and I was working against myself by being so mobile.
I realized I had to change the way I was presenting to kids to keep the distractions to a minimum.
Hannah, our amazing Solutions Director, taught the G&G community some non-verbal strategies and this first one helped me solve my movement mayhem.
It’s called FREEZE BODY.
Essentially, you choose a place in your classroom that you will stand to deliver your most important information. Maybe those are direction sets or announcements. You will stand there and STAY IN THAT SPOT until you release the kids to start working.
Imagine yourself wearing concrete boots. Concrete boots would be hecka heavy and it would be really hard to move. So try everything in your power to stay in that one spot.
Here is where the magic happens: the more consistent you are, the more pavlovian the kids get. They start seeing you walk toward or stand in that spot and guess what happens… they start to get quiet on their own. 🤫
No lie, I taught this in a workshop a few weeks ago and in 45 minutes by the end of the sessions the participants started to notice me in my freeze body spot and a hush flew over the crowd.
And you better believe once I did it in my classrooms, it worked. I would do this in conjunction with a call and response.
So in a classroom, maybe the kids are working in groups and I need them to clean up supplies before the bell rings. I would walk to my freeze body spot, say my attention getter (Eyes and Ears Up Here) raising my right hand, I wait until everyone is quiet (and if some are not, I say their name to redirect) and then I move on with my announcement.
Where do you think your freeze body location will be in the classroom?
3. 🚶Exit Directions
I’m saving the best (IMHO) for last. The day I was taught this strategy, it changed my teaching career forever.
Exit directions are for WHEN YOU EXIT THE TEACHING.
Think about it, you are standing in front of the class giving detailed instructions about the next activity, let's just say it’s butt welds (hehe).
You have to make sure to remind kids about safety procedures, what weld bays they will be using, what electrode, where to find their metal, how to turn it in, and what to do when they are finished.
That is a lot of information for students to digest, especially if it’s only spoken. I know when I get verbal directions it’s in one ear and out the other.
Exit directions don’t take away those verbal directions, but rather they add a visual element to help the students once you release them to do their work.
Why does this work? A few reasons:
Allows students to have a visual reminder of their job
Provides icons/images to support ELL students or student who have trouble with literacy
Allows an anchor for the activity to be present at all times
Drastically reduces the amount of times you hear “what are we doing?”
LITERALLLLLLY as I was teaching this to a group of ag teachers, I sent them off to make their own exit directions and someone walked in late. He just looks at me like “what are we doing here?” And I realize OH NO, I DON’T EVEN HAVE EXIT DIRECTIONS FOR AN EXIT DIRECTION ACTIVITY. So I needed to sit down with him for a few minutes to explain what we were doing to get him caught up.
Holy freaking airball, amiright?
Here are some examples from our ag classrooms:
(INSERT SCREENSHOTS)
Just remember the three golden rules of exit directions:
Use visuals
Not a lot of words
Make sure they know WHAT they are doing, HOW they do it, and WHAT’S NEXT!
Are these three strategies going to magically fix all your classroom management issues? No, we cannot promise that. What we do know from research is it can save a teacher UP TO an hour and a half every WEEK from redirecting and reexplaining themselves. Anything to get me to stop spinning my wheels and having to say “I just said that, weren't you listening?!”
Try it out, and be ready because we are going to drop 2 more bonus strategies on the next blog!
🌿 Officer Training Retreat: Building Strong Teams with Purpose
Planning an officer retreat that balances leadership development, team bonding, and strategic planning is essential for setting the tone for a successful year. By integrating the Three Circle Model of Agricultural Education—Classroom Instruction, Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), and FFA—into your retreat, you can create a comprehensive experience that fosters growth in all areas.
🧭 Aligning with the Three Circle Model
Incorporate activities that touch on each component of the Three Circle Model to ensure a well-rounded retreat:
Classroom Instruction: Engage in workshops that enhance teaching and communication skills.
SAE: Discuss and plan for student projects, emphasizing real-world applications.
FFA: Focus on leadership development and chapter growth strategies.
By addressing all three areas, you provide officers with a holistic understanding of their roles and responsibilities.
🎯 Fun Activities to Strengthen Bonds
Incorporate engaging activities that promote teamwork and trust:
Escape Room Challenge: Foster problem-solving and collaboration under pressure.
Baking Challenge: Encourage creativity and teamwork in a relaxed setting.
Outdoor Adventures: Activities like hiking or obstacle courses can build resilience and camaraderie.
These activities not only build trust but also create lasting memories that strengthen team dynamics.
⏱️ Time Fillers and Relationship Builders
Utilize short, impactful activities to fill gaps and deepen connections:
"Two Truths and a Lie": A fun icebreaker that encourages personal sharing.
Group Discussions: Topics like "What does leadership mean to you?" can provoke thoughtful conversations.
Reflection Sessions: Allow officers to share their experiences and insights from the retreat.
These activities help officers connect on a personal level, fostering a supportive and cohesive team environment.
💡 Final Thoughts
A well-planned officer training retreat that integrates the Three Circle Model and includes a mix of structured and informal activities can set your team up for a successful year. Remember, the goal is to build a foundation of trust, communication, and shared purpose that will carry through the entire year.

End-of-Year Ag Teacher Awards: Superlatives That Say ‘We See You’
I was just watching (I mean re-watching for the fourth time) Ted Lasso. His charisma, positivity and down right hilarious quips keep me coming back for more.
One of my favorite moments in the seasons is when he sees that one of his players isn’t performing the best and finds out that he has really been missing his home and has a birthday coming up.
He works with the other coaches and team to surprise him with presents from home and a cake. It reminds me that celebration is an underused strategy to encourage and support others.
We don’t need to wait for a certain moment or day in the year to celebrate.
So, today we are celebrating you. If you’re reading this in real time, we are entering into the end of the school year (and yes teacher appreciation week) and it is time to celebrate.
Why don’t we do a little superlatives to celebrate! As you read I have a feeling some of you will be saying “wow, that is me!” And we know because we are right there with you. To be honest I am feeling very 1, 7 and 11 this year.
Most Likely to Hit a Curb in the Mini Bus
It may not have been a smooth ride, but you got everyone there in one piece (and probably had snacks, music, and a pep talk along the way). You’re the kind of leader who keeps it moving, curbs and all.
Most Likely to Have a Greenhouse That Feels Like a Second Home
Your students know it, your coworkers know it, your community knows it and the plants definitely know it. You’ve created a space where growth is more than just botanical—it's personal, too.
Most Likely to Know Everyone's Favorite Snack at CDE Practice
You’ve memorized the snack orders, pep talk routines, and who needs a joke before reasons. It’s not just food, it’s how you fuel your teams for connection.
Most Likely to Make the Shop Smell Like Sawdust and Success
Every project starts with chaos and ends with “Whoa, we built that?” You're showing students what it means to create something real with their own two hands.
Most Likely to Be a Legend at the County Fair
You can find the duct tape, wrangle three kids, fix a display, and still manage to smile for the group photo. Fair season would fall apart without you.
Most Likely to Have the Best Animal Selfies on Their Camera Roll
Goats, pigs, chickens—and somehow they’re all smiling. You bring the barn to life and capture the joy along the way.
Most Likely to Turn Any Moment into a Teachable One
Rain delays, broken tools, CDE team chaos and last-minute schedule changes don’t stop the learning. You see every moment as an opportunity to help kids grow.
Most Likely to Keep it Real with a Side of Sass
You say what needs to be said, with a smirk and a spark. You bring honesty, humor, and high expectations and we know your students are better for it.
Most Likely to Inspire the Next Generation of Ag Teachers
You’re the reason a student looked up and said, “I want to do this someday.” That’s impact, and it lasts longer than any lesson plan.
Most Likely to Cry at Graduation (and That’s Okay)
You’ve been in the trenches with these students, watched them grow, fail, and find their way for four years. When they walk across that stage, your heart walks right with them.
Most Likely to Take a Real Break This Summer
This year asked a lot, and you showed up anyway. Now it’s your turn to rest, recharge, and remember that doing nothing is doing something.
Most Likely to Grow Their Teaching Skills This Summer
You’re the kind of educator who’s always learning, always leveling up. Whether it’s your first Germinate Conference or your fifth, you show up ready to grow—and we’re cheering you on.
No matter which superlative made you smile (or made you say, “Yep, that’s me”), we hope you feel seen, valued, and celebrated.
Whether this year was your best yet or one you’re just proud to have survived, we’re so dang proud of you. You’ve made a difference, even on the hard days actually, especially on the hard days.
To keep that momentum going, we’ve pulled together some free resources to help you wrap up the year with intention, ease, and maybe even a little joy. Because you deserve support just as much as you give it.
Let’s finish strong—and then take that well-earned break.
Got a day to fill? Why not try a Wonder Day. Inspired by John Spencer’s Wonder Week. This resource gives you a Google Slide template for your students to dive deep into a topic of your choosing for the day.
Just last month we dropped a mega end of the year blog to help you get the most out of your students when they are still there! Check out the various free resources to gather feedback from your students to make next year the best yet.
The end of the year usually means it is time to see what those students have done on their SAEs this semester. Check out this short blog and accompany podcast on how to spice it up this year with an SAE Expo.
Paper plate awards are a fun, low prep way to recognize students in your classes or chapter members. This blog gives you a few suggestions and reasons why celebrating your students might be fun at the end of the year.
At the end of the year, the last things kids want is another Kahoot or Quizlet Live. Lori Sanderson (a Germinate Speaker LEGEND) gave you the Holy Grail of Review Activities in this Hall of Fame Germinate Session. With a TON of ready to use ideas and google drive resources to help you out before those final exams.

Classroom Improvement Secrets: What Your Agriculture Students Really Want You to Know
I can already envision the last days of the school year. Spring break is long gone, the plant sale was another success, the banquet ran on time, and the saying goodbye to the seniors never gets easier.
And as the last bell rings and the summer sunlight streams through the classroom windows, I often find myself surrounded by stacks of papers, forgotten markers, and the lingering echoes of another school year.
And I know how tempting it is to simply pack everything away, file the memories, and breathe a sigh of relief. But this moment right here, between the chaos of the school year and the promise of summer, is an essential piece to building a better school year for the impending fall.
This is where reflection happens. And that is where growth begins.
Professional development workshops and educational conferences like Germinate Conference are invaluable tools for growth, offering insights, strategies, and best practices. But the true magic of improvement happens when those external insights meet the unique day-to-day realities of your classroom.
While external training provides frameworks and techniques, the most precise roadmap for your personal growth comes from those who experience your teaching firsthand: your students.
Over the years, I've learned that meaningful improvement isn't about implementing a one-size-fits-all approach from an outside perspective. It's about understanding the unique ecosystem of your classroom including the specific dynamics, challenges, and opportunities that only you and your students truly comprehend.
External professional development can guide and inspire, but the most targeted, meaningful improvements emerge from listening to the voices that fill your classroom every single day. So before your students leave the classroom for good, it's time to ask for student feedback.
Why should you ask for student feedback?
Well, let’s be honest, students are the most honest critics but also can be the most insightful collaborators in the educational process. They experience our teaching firsthand, navigate the landscapes we create, and understand the real-world application of what we're trying to communicate. Their perspective is not just valuable, it's essential.
Asking for feedback doesn’t have to be a 1 on 1 conversation (although it totally could), it can be something that you integrate into your class assignments. We have three examples that we have used in our classrooms that have allowed us to make tweaks to enhance our skills.
3 Powerful Ways to Gather Meaningful Student Feedback
1️⃣ TOP 5 BOTTOM 5 Reflection Method
How It Works:
Students create two lists:
- Top 5 most impactful concepts or knowledge gained
- Bottom 5 areas where they struggled or felt least connected
Requirements:
- Each point must be documented with at least a full paragraph
- Students must explain:
- Why they found value in the learning
- How the concept will help them in the real world
Optional:
Have students provide a visual representation for each top 5 aspect. Maybe this is a picture of their assignment or from that lesson.
This isn't just a simple list-making exercise. It's a deep dive into the learning experience that challenges students to critically examine their educational journey. When I did this in the classroom I had multiple students HATE my environmental issues group project.
Essentially, I assigned them groups and they did a modified Ag Issues project about their chosen issue and created a skit. Multiple students said they hated the skit. So, the following year I added a few more presentation options so they weren’t forced to do a skit.
The Top 5 Bottom 5 method is a powerful reflective tool that goes far beyond surface-level feedback. By requiring students to provide detailed paragraphs explaining their choices, the exercise transforms from a simple list into a profound learning experience.
Students are challenged to think critically about their educational journey, articulating not just what they learned, but why and how those lessons matter. The visual component adds another layer of depth, encouraging students to represent their learning creatively and engage multiple forms of expression.
This method doesn't just provide feedback to the instructor it also helps students themselves process and internalize their learning, creating a moment of metacognitive reflection that can be transformative.
2️⃣Comprehensive Course Reflection
How It Works:
Allow students to answer a few questions that can help you address changes you would like to make to your teaching. Students can present this with a presentation or a written response.
Here are some questions I have asked in the past:
(1) What did you learn about yourself throughout the semester?
(2) If you had it to do over again, what would you change?
(3) Consider the course as a whole: What was most beneficial to your development in agriculture?
(4) What would you have liked to learn more about?
Get a copy of both the Top 5 Bottom 5 and Course Reflection document HERE.
The comprehensive course reflection centers on four transformative questions designed to guide students through a deep exploration of their learning journey. These questions challenge students to reflect on personal growth, critically examine their experience, and understand the broader impact of their course.
By asking students to articulate their self-discovery, potential improvements, course benefits, and areas of curiosity, the reflection becomes more than an evaluation—it's a meaningful dialogue about learning, growth, and future potential.
The questions invite students to step back and consider their educational experience holistically, connecting classroom learning to real-world applications. This approach demonstrates that their intellectual curiosity is valued and that learning is an ongoing journey of discovery and improvement.
3️⃣Google Forms Course Evaluation
In the age of digital feedback, online surveys offer a structured yet flexible approach to gathering student insights. Now, multiple members of the G&G team use these simple surveys throughout the year. Back in the pandemic we did it weekly and now have scaled back to every grading period. Here is an example of one we have used for the end of year feedback: You can check it out here.
Recommended Approach:
- Create a template that balances structured questions with open-ended responses
- Ensure anonymity to encourage honest feedback
- Use a mix of rating scales and text response options
Digital course evaluations through Google Forms provide a comprehensive approach to gathering student feedback that addresses multiple learning and assessment needs. The combination of quantitative rating scales and qualitative open-ended questions allows for both statistical analysis and deep insight.
Anonymity becomes a crucial factor, empowering students to share honest, unfiltered perspectives they might hesitate to express face-to-face. While you will probably get some students that completely rag on your class, that is OK. It is a data point that you can gather insight from. Remember that the open ended responses will provide you with specific feedback that should give you a direction toward your growth areas for the following year.
Overall, gathering student feedback isn't about validation, it's about your potential transformation as a teacher. We are not saying that you aren’t already a fantastic teacher, we believe that you are.
What we also know (and believe deeply which is why it is our mission statement) that we should have an ALWAYS LEARNING mentality. Teaching isn’t a race with a finish line at the end of each year, it is a journey that requires reflection, feedback and growth.
Treat each piece of feedback you get as a gift, an opportunity to refine our craft, to connect more deeply, and to continuously improve your educational craft.

Worried Germinate Conference is Stuck in the Past?
Here’s How We’ve Evolved
Lately I have spent some time off Instagram (my social media app of choice). Mostly for creation but I still sneak on there to check out what my friends are up to.
And if you are reading this and our team follows you/you follow us, there is a HIGH percentage that I am seeing what your chapter is doing and secretly fangirling.
I also see some familiar faces who have been around the G&G space since it began who have moved on from attending G&G events (no hard feelings, promise!). And I see you all getting married, growing your families, expanding your programs, excelling in your classrooms and chapters and I am HERE FOR IT.
At G&G we understand and CELEBRATE that their are seasons of life (and careers).
Seasons of abundance
Seasons of drought
Seasons of the status quo
With that, there’s a chance that Germinate Conference wasn’t what was right for you in the past. And if we’re being completely honest, Germinate 2019 or even 2022 wouldn’t fly for us in 2025 either.
Which is why I wanted to write a blog post all about how Germinate has changed and what you can expect when you register for the 2025 conference.
Think of this as a little love letter back to our G&G OG’s. We have had you in our mind for the past 7 months as we have been working to update, revitalize, and curate the best experience for attendees in July.
4 Reasons You Might Be Hesitating To Join Germinate Conference
1. Hesitancy for Virtual PD
I hear it all the time that in our “post-COVID” days we are stepping away from virtual. Now, as someone who taught before, during, and after the pandemic I sing “hallelujah” from the rooftops about not forcing students into virtual learning. But, for professional development I say “why are you hating”
How much time do we spend on social media gathering new tips/tricks for the classroom (or even catching up with your fav creators)?
How much time do we spend watching reality TV?
How much time do we spend facetime our family members across the US/World?
How much time do you spend scrolling Facebook Groups, Pinterest or TPT for lesson ideas?
How many webinars or townhalls have you attended for ____?
Everything I listed above is virtual.
And those avenues are valuable.
Why would we treat professional development differently than the other ways we enrich our lives and careers? Especially when we know these cold hard facts about virtual learning (for ADULTS)
Virtual Learning reduces training costs by 30 to 70% than in-person trainings
Virtual Learning requires 40-60% less time our of your busy schedule than traditional classroom settings
Virtual Learning can increase information retention by up to 80%
Germinate was created to break down travel and financial barriers to connect incredible agriculture teachers and professionals together.
No need to travel across the country for a couple day conference
No need to argue with administration about dropping $1,000+ on conference registration, hotel, ubers and food.
No need to sit in on sessions that aren’t relevant to your program
Germinate doesn’t replace your regional and national conferences for your teaching organizations. Those conferences have important legislative sessions and industry updates that are vital to the progress of agriculture education. And we support teachers attending them (we even offer a scholarship to help fund those trips for teachers once a year).
But, we realize it is a reality of many teachers that they will not get the opportunity ever or very rarely in their career to do that kind of travel.
Hence, why we have hosted 11 agriculture teacher organized, presented, and attended Germinate Conferences since 2019.
2. Hesitancy for the same conference over and over again
Hey, if you have been to Germinate before, we are so happy you decided to come in the past! And we also understand that you might wonder why you should attend again…
It’s kind of like going to see the same artist in concert over and over – will the show be any different? You’ve seen it once, is it worth it again? (Tbh, the only person I’d go see and over and over is our girl Taylor 🤣).
With this in mind, we actually decided that we need to reach outside of our circles and hired two new team members to SHAKE UP GERMINATE this summer. Jacklyn and Jason have been working their tails off to push the team to step outside the Germinate norm.
Case and point: At Germinate 2025 we have 23 new speakers AND 12 never before seen topics at Germinate!
There have been 296 professional development sessions hosted by G&G over the past 6 years. And we are jazzed to have some new ideas, new voices, and new takeaways that will help a teacher who is gearing up for a 2026 school year (and not re-teaching pre-pandemic content).
So, if you have been to Germinate before I can attest to you that …
The format is similar to what you have seen in the past BUT…
You won’t be listening to the all the same speakers from the past
You won’t be hearing all the same topics from the past
The content has been reviewed and edited by current ag teachers to be in the best format for you.
3. Hesitancy on investment
Y’all I think everyone can agree that money is tight. I’ll be the first to say that teachers are NOT compensated fairly and I will continue to advocate for increased teacher pay to my local representatives.
While we at G&G cannot increase your local pay, we have created a few avenues to help lessen the financial barrier for you to attend Germinate.
Scholarships
(SCHOLARSHIPS CLOSED)
We love being able to connect with teachers who need support. Whether that is with finding the right lesson or getting assistance to attend Germinate. We offer scholarships every year prior to registration opening. Be on the lookout for applications at the beginning of the calendar year.
Payment Plans
I get it, dropping $100+ at a time can be a commitment. That is why payment plans are so prevalent in our lives from our mortgages, car payments or even using Klarna. Germinate also offers payment plans so you can break up the payments to your conference.
School Supported Payments
Yes, your school can pay for Germinate. Last year we had 13 attendees have their schools pay their way to Germinate with an invoice. If you are looking to do that, request an invoice using this Google Form. PLEASE be aware that Green & Growing Education can only accept payment for invoices using a credit card payment via QUICKBOOKS (No checks for Germinate).
Early Registration Discounts
The early bird gets the worm in nature and at Germinate. We have multiple registration discounts available and here is how they play out for Germinate 2025:
Feb 10-Mar 15, 2025: $109
March 16-May 15: $149
May 16-June 28: $199
4. Hesitancy on the content being right for you
How many times have you been to a local professional development conference and you scan the agenda and mentally are saying to yourself…
“That’s a lot of content for core subjects?”
“Is there even anything for just CTE teachers?”
“Why am I even going if the content isn’t going to help me or my students?”
WE HAVE BEEN THERE. And TBH we end up there every year. That is why we all started attending Germinate. Because we know the content IS RELEVANT to agriculture teachers.
While we admit that you might not have sessions that fit your exact case load, FFA chapter needs, or SAE issues, we can commit that every session is created around the three circle model WITH AG TEACHERS needs at the forefront.
So, while you might be HOPING for a Conduct of Chapter Meetings session, we can offer you a Parliamentary Procedure session from a 7th year ag teacher who has coached their teams to a GOLD ranking at nationals 4 times.
While you might be HOPING for some new ideas for field trips, we can offer you a strategic session that can help you stop sweating the small stuff in your trip planning.
While you might be HOPING to get some new strategies for assisting your IEP students, we can offer you a session on engaging multi-language learners that might inform ideas to assist all of your students with IEPs.
If you want to take a deeper dive on the sessions offered at Germinate this year, you can check them out here.
I am hopeful this new information can help you see how Germinate has changed with you in mind. And if you still aren’t ready to join in this season of life, know that we are behind the scenes still cheering you on. Why? Because we don’t care about your registration fee. We care about YOU, the teacher, and more importantly, you the PERSON, choosing what is right for them.
But if this version of Germinate IS what you are looking for, you can register HERE.
