From Management to Leadership: Transforming Your Classroom Culture

Saturday November 9, 2024 2:00pm - 3:00pm JST

What’s the difference between classroom management and classroom leadership? Classroom leadership fosters a sense of community by creating an environment where every student feels valued and included. When teachers lead with empathy and encourage collaboration, they establish a culture of mutual respect and trust. This leadership style empowers students to take ownership of their learning, support their peers, and engage in meaningful dialogue. By modeling positive behaviors and facilitating open communication, classroom leaders help build a connected, supportive community where students are motivated to succeed together.

Outcomes:

Distinguish between classroom management and classroom leadership.

Explore methods to lead with empathy, model positive behaviors and facilitate open communication.

Reflect on your own classroom leadership and how you build connections within your learning community.
