The teacher who is equipped with strong classroom management skills and instructional mastery is able to create lasting academic, social, and school impact.
When we define classroom management as the actions teachers take to establish and maintain accountable environments that foster both academic and social and emotional resilience, we see “accountability” through a different lens. The goal of classroom management is not compliance, but rather the art of building relationships with each student, no matter the background of the teacher or the student.
Ultimately, sound and safe classroom management promotes personal and whole-class well-being, responsibility, and achievement. Every single person in a school deserves to feel safe, feel valuable, and know deep inside them that they truly belong there.
