As Autumn has created a change in the season...
we should review the climate in each of our classrooms!
"I have come to a frightening conclusion.
I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make
a child's life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis
will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized."
(Ginott, 1972, p.16)
