As teachers, how do we use classroom management to promote social development?

1. We can create a set of rules designed to support students as they worked together. 2. Use a small number of rules because they supplement the general classroom rules, and because a small number makes them easier to remember. 3. The combination of general and social classroom rules will guide students' roleplaying, discussions, and observation of model behaviour. This will contribute to students' awareness and understanding of social skills and their importance. In time, and with effort and practice, these efforts can make a difference in students' social development.
