Effective classroom management skills are essential for all educators.  As a teacher, I’ve tried various strategies over the years with varying degrees of success.  As a new teacher, I remember thinking that I had to have some big, fancy classroom management system in place.  But here's what I've learned!

All parents want their child to succeed academically at school.   And here’s the thing, one of the best predictors of a child's academic success is parents' involvement in their child’s education . Yes, you heard that right! When parents actively participate in their child's education, they do significantly better at school.

All children are unique.  They have unique lives, with unique lived experiences and opportunities.  They have unique strengths, needs, and interests.  They have unique family units, backgrounds, and identities.
