Make this year the year of better student behavior, stronger classroom relationships, increased student engagement, and higher levels of thinking and learning.

When it comes to student behavior and achievement, the classroom environment you establish makes all the difference. But what makes successful classrooms truly successful? What do highly effective teachers do to establish a learning environment that promotes positive behavior and supports high levels of learning all year long?

2. Positive relationships 
3. Engagement and enjoyment
4. A culture of thinking and learning
