Creating the Classroom Culture
In Gerald Miller's four-part series on classroom culture, he explores the foundational role of culture in Christian education, emphasizing its impact on teaching, learning, and spiritual formation.
The third session "Creating the Classroom Culture" shifts to action, urging teachers as leaders to proactively build culture through routines (for efficiency), rituals (infused with deeper meaning tied to values), and traditions (recurring events that build connection and anticipation). By reflecting on and developing these elements, educators can cultivate joy, rigor, and belonging, rather than merely managing or reacting to existing dynamics.
