Location / Setting
Special Considerations
To prevent class management issues, I will apply
Gordons theory. According to Gordon's Theory of
Classroom Management, teachers are encouraged not to
discipline students in the traditional manner. Instead, I
should foster open relationships marked by excellent
student-teacher communication that encourages the
student to take an active role in their own behaviour and
understand that it is their own choice and in their own
best interest to behave in a manner that benefits the
student, the teacher, and the rest of the class.
