As teachers we hold an awesome responsibility. We design and define what will occur within the walls of our classrooms. To students these walls allow a space to receive, explore and define understanding of the world. They need to be able to learn how to navigate within these walls without fear or intimidation especially from the teacher who owns this space. As teachers we prepare and plan for the worst while expecting the best. In the same way those who exhibit emotional constancy anticipate what emotional responses might be a part of preparation. This fortifies them for when students behave in ways that do not align with their vision within the classroom walls. As the teacher maintains emotional self-control it frees up space to guide and support students through their own emotions and learning. Developing self-awareness of one’s own responses to student behaviors not only models skills for students it also helps to direct students towards more appropriate and desired outcomes for their learning, growth and desired achievement".
