In the following pages I have compiled a list of the top 10 concepts that I believe are most important in creating a successful learning environment in terms of management and discipline.
Classroom management and discipline are vital components in creating an effective classroom and providing the opportunity to all students to meet or excel in the learning standards. Teachers need to create an environment where teachers can teach and students can learn. “This means creating a supportive, inclusive, and nonthreatening environment. Well-managed classrooms promote learning and prevent many disruptions. Poorly managed classrooms create uncertainty and conflict and reduce student opportunities to learn” (Savage, 2010, p. 66).
