1. How students act in school is so bound up with what they are being asked to learn as to raise serious questions about whether classroom management can reasonably be treated as a separate field - Alfie Kohn, 1996 EDUC 4464 – Methods Class Two – Section 9 & 10 September 12, 2007

8. In your teaching ideas file, under ‘Rapport Building’ copy: Icebreaker – activities which acquaint groups to get to know one another in a non-threatening, low risk manner. These can be used with students on the first day of class, at your school’s open house, if you have parents in your classroom, when you are in charge of a meeting where people do not know each other, or even at a staff meeting to add some variety. They are a great way to build group cohesion in the classroom, while building rapport between yourself and students. Further, if the ice breaker is active, it expels excess energy and provides a break. It therefore helps with classroom management. (Remember: ‘Cut and Paste’ is an option!)
