The Five Principles of Classroom Culture
1. Discipline- teaching children the right and successful way to do things
2. Management- reinforcing behavior through consequences and rewards
3. Control- a teacher's capacity for causing students to choose to do what you ask
4. Influence- connecting to students and inspiring them to want to achieve
5. Engagement- students are vested in rigorous lessons with plenty of opportunities to get involved
Start the second half of the year with a fresh outlook, a positive culture, and an inviting learning environment in your classroom!
