This video explains what it means to have a democratic classroom. This social studies concept falls under the umbrella of civics.
Implementing rules, procedures, and a class motto that promotes an engaging, affirming, and democratic learning environment will help your class learn important skills that they can use in their everyday lives. The way people socialize with one another impacts education, home life, and position in the community. Here is a video that helps families understand the importance of having a democratic classroom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTGzPeXar5s Establishing a democratic classroom involves creating logical rules. You must only ask of students what you expect from yourself. Is it ok to talk in the bathroom? or while getting your coat? Must you always raise your hand to speak in the classroom? If you go into the year with a mentality that students have to be at level zero most of their day or not be allowed to fidget in their chair you will not be happy and students will not meet your expectations. Creating room for respect means respecting your students first. Once a democratic classroom has been established respect and gratitude blossom.
