[00:04:15] Shanna Martin: Like new to our district, but have been teaching for 10 years. Other staff we have new to teaching where they have never had like formal classroom management training, depending on where they’re coming from. And this is just practical advice for classroom management, like an entry routine, how to diffuse students gaining their attention, um, transitions.
