THE FIRST-CLASSROOM PROBLEM
You Were Given the Classroom Keys.
No One Taught You How to Build the Classroom.
Suddenly you’re expected to build relationships, establish routines, teach expectations, plan lessons, engage students, respond to behavior, create community—and somehow know exactly what to do when students walk through the door.
So you do what almost every new teacher does.
You start collecting.
You probably don’t need more ideas.
You need to know what you’re building—and how the pieces work together.
A strong classroom is built through intentional decisions about how students will enter, participate, talk, listen, transition, work together, ask for help, meet expectations, solve problems, and increasingly take ownership.
And many of the routines that matter most are the ones no one tells you to plan.
What happens when a student finishes early? When a partner needs thinking time? When someone needs help and you’re already working with another student? These Hidden Routines™ are the small classroom moments that can either keep depending on you—or become opportunities for students to build independence.
What can you build now so you don’t have to keep managing it later?

THIS IS DIFFERENT
I’m Not Giving You My Classroom.
I’m Helping You Build Yours.
What worked beautifully with someone else’s students, in someone else’s school, may not be what your students need. Your classroom should be built around your students, your priorities, and the teacher you want to be.
NOT ANOTHER
Copy-and-Paste Classroom Plan
× A giant checklist of routines every teacher is supposedly required to use
× A scripted behavior-management program
× Random first-week activities with no bigger purpose
× Someone else deciding what your classroom should look like
INSTEAD
A Foundation for Building YOUR Classroom
✓ Decide which routines your students actually need
✓ Build expectations students understand, practice, reflect on, and grow toward
✓ Create relationships and participation that help students feel like they belong
✓ Give students meaningful opportunities to contribute and take more ownership
Strong classrooms aren’t downloaded.
You learn what matters, think through the decisions, and build from the same foundation of High Expectations, Relationships, and Student Voice—in a way that fits your students and your classroom.
FROM TEACHERS WHO HAVE DONE THE WORK
The biggest reaction wasn’t, “I got more ideas.”
It was: “I’ve never planned like this before.”
“Thank you, Sarah. I’ve never planned like this before! I can’t wait to try these strategies this year!”
“It seems so simple now that you say it, but I never thought about it like this!”
“Normally I fly by the seat of my pants and survive the year. OMG, there’s a better way! We were NEVER taught this in school!”
You don’t need someone else’s classroom.
You need a plan for building yours.

FROM SARAH
I Wish Someone Had Taught Me This Much Earlier.
I’m Sarah Legault, founder of Teachers Empowerment Network, instructional coach, and veteran educator.
Early in my career, I thought becoming a stronger teacher meant getting better at managing behavior.
Eventually, I started asking a very different question:
What could I build BEFORE I had to manage it?
That changed how I thought about routines, expectations, student participation, teacher language, relationships, independence, and the first days of school. The First Classroom Launch System™ is the work I wish someone had walked me through when I was handed my first classroom keys.

A Few Quick Questions
What if I don’t know my grade level or classroom yet?
Start anyway. Your vision, priorities, routines, expectations, relationships, and approach to student ownership can begin taking shape before every detail is known. You’ll adapt the specifics once you know your students and assignment.
Do I need to finish everything before Day One?
No. Build Your Classroom™ can be completed in about seven focused professional-learning hours, but you can work through it in smaller pieces. Start with the decisions your students will experience first.
What grade levels does this fit?
Build Your Classroom™ is adaptable K–12. First 3 Days of School™ is designed primarily for K–8 classrooms.
What happens after my 90 days of Teach Like a Top TEN™ membership access?
Your included membership access simply ends after 90 days. There is no automatic renewal and you will not be charged again. You’ll keep your access to Build Your Classroom™ and First 3 Days of School™. If you want to continue with Teach Like a Top TEN™ after that, you can choose to join the ongoing membership separately.
DAY ONE IS COMING
Don’t Just Prepare Your Classroom.
Build It.
Walk into Day One knowing what you’re building, what students will experience, and what you want to intentionally teach first.
