Want Help Managing Your Class?
Class Dojo is a great resource to help connect teachers, parents and students in your classroom. It not only allows you to track and support students' behavior, but you can use it as a tool to welcome your student's families to utilize too. Students and their families can create an account to see the progress of their student: participation, behavior, communicate with the teacher and more. Teachers can post videos, pictures, and information about school or class happenings.
