ABSTRACT

We are not talking about heating and cooling or global warming here, but rather the dynamics in your classroom. Former educator and author Jon Gordon identified 10 rules to fuel any group with positive energy in his bestseller The Energy Bus (2007). His focus on positive energy has helped leaders from all walks of life (including educators) transform their environments so that those people in them experience more success, happiness, better performance, and more teamwork. Your classroom environment and its energy greatly influence classroom management—and you are its Chief Energy Officer (Gordon, 2007).
