My BACKGROUND before answering questions. Im a First year elementary K-5 teacher and im interested in class management.

Please describe what you think of when you picture a perfect teaching and learning environment.  To do this think back to a time either with your class, or your children, or your spouse, or your friends, when you were able to create a moment when everyone was in sync for learning together and sharing ideas.  What was it about that moment that created this magical sharing?

The purpose of this course is to integrate effective instructional techniques with models of classroom management and discipline to effectively manage and monitor optimum student learning by using specific techniques for creating positive learning environments.
