Effective classroom management procedures and routines help to develop relationships and build community. However, classroom management is more than routines and organization. As an example, cooperative learning techniques can create opportunities for students to work together with purpose, acquire social skills, and develop common understandings.
An effective educator provides a safe and collaborative classroom environment by developing relationships and building community, with a strong understanding of the distinction between classroom management and discipline. Restorative practices in the classroom can help teachers to proactively prevent problems by transforming student behavior and promoting a healthy classroom environment and school community.
