Education is like a pencil box; it is only as good as what you put in it. To educate it to teach, to nurture, to explain, to cultivate. Who is responsible for this education? Responsibility falls on all stakeholders. Stakeholders include the community, parents, administrators, teachers, and students. The key to effective teaching is classroom management, teach for learning. positive expectation, and involvement. A good classroom manager starts with respect - respect from both the teacher and the students. In order to effectively manage a classroom, organized policies and procedures must not only be created but also strongly adhered to with clear understanding by all involved. Each student is unique and has the ability to learn. Though all students learning ability wont come from the same avenues. By incorporating activities that meet a variety of learning styes, students have a tremendous increase of motivation and interest in learning. Lessons with variety and upbeat techniques such as technology, include the students participation. The roots of these lessons must first be grounded in the national and state standards and benchmarks. To create a team environment all parties involved must have an open line of communication. The classroom, lessons, projects, and procedures must flow in a well organized manner.
