Rooted in Joy
Creating a Classroom Culture of Equity, Belonging, and Care
A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
DEONNA SMITH

creating a classroom culture of equity, belonging, and care.
What if we redefined "management"?
What if we focused on consequences and accountability instead of punishments?
What if teachers spent less time responding to behaviors, and more time teaching and building community?
What if our classrooms were rooted in joy?
