Class Management

I have lost count of the number of times I have been told that rules without relationships lead to rebellion. Yet today, relationships with students seem to be feared instead of embraced. Over the years, quite by accident, I have discovered that this precept from days gone by is critical to classroom rules and to learning itself. Relationships are an essential part of learning, especially relationships between teachers and students.

Classrooms present numerous opportunities for allergic reactions, and everyone has a role to play in keeping children with food allergies safe.

If students are misbehaving in class, there's usually a reason behind that behaviour. It’s an educator’s job to figure out what's going on and find a solution with the student.

As a teacher, I know it is important to establish and maintain an environment that is positive, tolerant, and supportive for all students.
