CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

MORAL RELATIVISM- what was the basis of the ethics of Greek/Roman times?
anything that enhances the goodness of a human.
Who decides?

Good is basically about relationships and the quality of love in relationships

ethical system is what enhances the human relationships

how do we make a judgment?

HATTIE - quality relationship with teacher - affirmation from the teacher
quality teacher encourages quality - empowers
humble without taking on a position of power
nurturing
love
encouragement

compared to operating from rules
world of rules = power and control
set of rules and regulations =dominant paradigm
non obeisance =stress
therefore exterminate rule breakers



















PRECIOUSNESS OF HUMANITY
- depth of humanity

clutter - lives of children are full
tv, sport etc.

clutter buster-good job

Part of Classroom Management is to unclutter
their time at school


some schools introduced new policy
no homework

child needs to have time

time to play and reflect

who do you see yourself as now
where do you see yourself heading
what can you let go of
for what purpose
why are we here
?
relationships and love

make space for new experiences

room in heads - to expand horizons

child point of relevance - uncluttered space in front of them.

good project will stimulate the child to continue without setting homework
constructivist
intrinsic motivation

TO BE
BE IN BEING
TO LEARN

children have a sense of security and comfort about
where they go therefore where they construct their knowledge
