At our popular Breakthrough Strategies to Teach and
Counsel Troubled Youth Workshops, we always let the course
participants name the problem areas they want to cover
during the inservice workshop. We can always count
on teachers asking for ideas for classroom management
and control. Nearly every teacher has had moments
when maintaining control over the class was difficult
or impossible. Some teachers tell us that their class
has actually gotten out of control. Here’s help.
So many students believe that they should be in charge
of the classroom and that they know more than the
teacher. It can be tough to teach hard-to-manage
students who think they should be in charge. Since few
schools have a written game plan to formally train their
kids to be students, you may see a lot of younger and
older youth who do not look, act or sound like students.

Education is sacrosanct to national development. Education and national development are the two sides of a coin that mutually reinforce and challenge each other.

The government appreciates the significance of education to national development and will marshal its resources to attain its avowed goal of a reinvigorated public service. Odumosu [2004] said, “Education in Nigeria is … a huge government venture that has witnessed evolution of government complete and dynamic intervention and active participation. The Federal Government has adopted education as an instrument per excellence for effective national development.”

As you are reading this article, I want you to think about – and maybe even list – some of the great teachers you know. They could be kindergarten teachers, third grade teachers, eighth grade English teachers, high school biology teachers, community college or university professors – or someone you know who teaches in the business sector. Get a few of these teachers in mind and then think about each of the following attributes and whether they would apply to those special teachers you have in mind:
