Warmth and Control
Captions available
The idea
Classroom management combines warmth and control, and the two are independent dimensions rather than a trade-off: a teacher can be high or low on each.
In practice
A teacher can hold firm, consistent limits while greeting every student warmly by name at the door.
Where people slip
Crossing the two dimensions gives four management styles.
