Imagine, instead, a classroom that is brimming with curriculum-based interactions and far less interruptions to the flow of the teaching.
Caroline Blackley has observed thousands of teachers at work in their classrooms - a privilege that has allowed her to develop a deep understanding of what goes in to creating a truly inclusive and productive classroom environment, rich with curriculum-based interactions and with minimal disruption.
Additionally, she has been able to pin point what leads to the type of classroom environment that no one wants to be in; and it comes down to a few easy to apply differences in how teachers apply their current skills.
Through applying the Four Dimensions framework to their classroom interactions, teachers are able to quickly see a more productive classroom culture emerge, and start to really enjoy their jobs again.
