2. Do you know how you will deal with behavior issues? Here's another checklist that will get you thinking about a best practice.
3. What will you do when the rules get broken? It's all right here.

A few other things to think about:

• where does finished work go?
• where does unfinished work go?
• what cues do your students provide when they need to go to the bathroom? sharpen a pencil?
• what do they do when the bell rings? when they come in from recess? when they walk down the hallways?
