Thank you for leaning in and listening to episode 18 of CALM Conversations about Learning!
The M in CALM is for Management and I will examine the meaning of the word within the context of teaching and learning.
Classroom Management is an important part of teaching and learning. It is both practical in the sense that teachers have a responsibility to oversee the activities, behaviors, pacing, productivity and general flow of the environment. There are a lot of considerations to make when managing a classroom, ranging from ensuring students’ safety and well-being to determining student seating arrangement for optimal learning.
But often, classroom management is approached from a point of control and consequences with no long-term goal for building healthy relationships with students and providing opportunities for students to practice self-management.
Which makes me wonder: What is the long game?
Are we educating young people so that they will grow up to become adults who respond best to being managed because they have not had opportunities to practice managing themselves?
