Why The Word
Classroom Management uses two principles:
- Strictly following a classroom management plan. This allows teachers to hold students accountable without yelling, scolding, lecturing, or using any other stressful or hurtful method.
- Create a classroom that students love being part of, that they’re excited to come to every day.
This combination of strength and joy holds the key to effective classroom management. Using simple strategies and techniques, you'll learn how to use these principles to get your students to want to behave. Influence them and inspire them and tap into their intrinsic motivation. Learn how to make teaching more fun and less stressful. Create the teaching experience you really want.
Implementation

Do they turn in their seats, reach for materials, or begin standing and conversing with classmates before you even finish talking?
Do you find yourself gradually raising your voice, trying to get in that last bit of instruction before the din overtakes you?
