Classroom Management Our goal is to help children be safe, to learn, and feel successful in the classroom. At times, a student may be asked to go to a “safe spot” or a “work spot” so that he/she can meet these goals. Sitting in the safe seat is not a punishment. It is a tool for teaching and protecting kids.
