ABSTRACT
CM is the teacher’s central mode of conduct and set of activities in the classroom. It integrates teacher’s roles and professional objectives as instructor, educator, and manager. Reporting in the journal “Educational Leadership” on a meta-analysis of various studies, Marzano and Marzano concluded that CM is the single factor with the largest impact on student achievement, because effective CM sets the stage for successful student learning. In their analysis, Marzano and Marzano (2003) concluded that teacherstudents relationships constituted the keystone to all other aspects of CM, and specifi cally, that effective teacher-students relationships consisted of exhibiting appropriate levels of dominance, exhibiting appropriate levels of cooperation, and being aware of high needs students.
