5: Teachers Know How to Manage a Classroom
"The teacher uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation."
I base my classroom management on two main pillars: providing a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students and building relationships with those students. Most of the troubles one will encounter in the classroom can be mitigated by forming trusting relationships with students and working to keep those students motivated and engaged.
