Sommario/riassunto

All too often, managing a classroom means gaining control, dictating



guidelines, and implementing rules. Designed for any teacher struggling with student behaviour, motivation, and engagement, 'Developing a Learning Classroom' explores how to create a thriving, learning-centred classroom through three critical concepts: relationships, relevance, and rigour.
