My philosophy on classroom management is first learning and knowing the different rolls that a teacher plays on an everyday basis. I didnt know until this class that a teacher had so many rolls to play during the day. He or she may be the judge, parent, bad guy, social worker, counselor, reference, advisor, educator, and the equal person.
I also learned that I will run into different types of students. More than what I expected as a student in class now.

The non-assertive teacher takes a passing approach to students, and last the assertive teacher clearly, confidently, and consistently, express class expeditions to students.
The main thing I learned from Dreikur is something every teacher should remember. It is what a teacher should day and do to his or her students.
