Urban Teacher Use of Culturally Responsive Classroom Management Strategies

This article addresses classroom management in the Urban Classroom, it list strategies the teacher could use to make connection with her/his students. Strategies like; caring for her students, effective communication, and acting with authority. Even though, these strategies were focused on what the urban teacher should know, I believe that all classroom management plans should incorporate these strategies. Our Classroom population is changing and even if we are not in an urban school, our classroom will have a diverse student population. This week was especially challenging for me, my team leader suggested that we adjust our classroom management in favor of a group of students, I disagreed with her recommendation and named many reasons, it was not best practice. I believe effective classroom management is essential to the teaching and learning process in any classroom, but it must be consistent and the teacher must act with authority. Bibliography Brown, D.
