Halfway through my observation, my teacher came up to me one day and said the key to having classroom control and being a great teacher is developing a rapport with your students. She knows her students and cares about them. She has a way of handling them that is her own style. She is sarcastic and jokes with her students, however, she can manage them as well. Student’s come up to her after class and talk with her in the halls. By connecting with her students, my cooperating teacher is able to create emotional connections which enhance classroom experiences. The students feel comfortable with her and her classroom and this makes for a suitable teaching environment.
