Classroom Management Philosophy
Students cannot grow into their full potential if they are not in an environment that encourages them to grow and provides a space for them to develop the confidence to think for themselves and discover who they are both as a person and as a member of a group or society. A well managed classroom that provides fair and consistent rules as well as helpful routines and procedures can help create a space where students are not afraid to experiment and discover how to think for themselves, form their own opinions, and discover how to interact with those around them in a healthy way.
