Classroom Managment, The Key to Success

Touch Stones for Creating a Safe
&
Trustworthy Space

· Choose for yourself when and how to participate
There is always an invitation, never an invasion; always opportunity, never demand.

· Be present for yourself and others
Presume welcome and extend welcome.

· Speak for yourself-Use “I” statements

· Make space for silence
Slow down and pay attention to the voice of the inner teacher.

· No fixing
Seek instead, through deep listening and open questions, to help each find his or her
own clarity.

· When the going gets rough, turn to wonder
Be open to learning and seeing with “soft eyes.” Turn from reaction and judgment to
wonder and compassionate inquiry.

· Observe confidentiality
