Collaboration in Classroom Management

Goetz, Hunt & Soto (2002) investigated how collaboration between professionals within the classroom usually increases their sense of self-efficacy. Furthermore, time and time again, it's been proven to increase student participation and participant satisfaction with the process and results.

With this knowledge in mind, this module was formulated to explore the main principles of classroom management. Educators need to be aware of the boundaries and dynamics that characterise the educator-student and the teacher-LSE relationships.
