Remember that every child's background and their own personal experiences add the flavor necessary for a stimulating and motivating classroom. Consistency, continuity and providing the students with options and praise for appropriate behaviors are the key elements in classroom management.
What's the best thing about teaching?
The magic, passion, and love that every teacher receives while teaching is the reward for the time and effort they have invested.
