Classroom psychology

• The group

  A class is a group with dynamics: roles, leaders, isolates; manage the group, not 30 individuals.

• Conflicts

  Student-student, student-teacher, teacher-parents: rule — address behavior, not personality.

• Motivation

  Autonomy + competence + relatedness (SDT): task choice, achievable challenges, belonging.

• Teacher burnout

  Emotional exhaustion is an occupational risk; supervision, boundaries, sharing emotional labor.

A class responds to a teacher systemically: the teacher's mood infects the class more than words. 'Emotional hygiene' techniques are as much methodology as lesson planning.
