Classroom Management //I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is MY response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized // Hiam Ginot-teacher and child psychologist Proper classroom management is crucial to promote learning in a classroom. Routines, expectations, rules, and respect are just a few of the important elements that must be included in a teacher’s classroom management plan. Every class is different because of the students and needs that they have. There are a large number of books dedicated to helping educators find a management plan that works for them. · __Comprehensive Classroom Management: Creating Communities of Support and Solving Problems 6th Edition __ by Vernon Jones
