Deconstructing Classroom Climate
My PhD examined the teacher’s influence on the group, and conversely, the impact of the students on the teacher.
As part of my provision for the bespoke ‘That Class’ initiative, I’ve distilled
the essence of my methodology into a comprehensive resource designed to empower colleagues who have tried all the conventional advice.
DCC is particularly useful for experienced colleagues whose authority relies on
their status, reputation, and relationships. Established staff, called upon to
support others, can sometimes find it difficult to explain the approaches they
use intuitively, their very presence and persona often suffice to bring about
compliance. The DCC methodology provides rich language and imagery to deconstruct and articulate their tacit knowledge.
Does a class come to mind? Or perhaps a colleague you are supporting?

Buy-In
If we establish buy-in during the 20-minute ‘That Class’ Scoping Call, you’ll receive a free-access code to the DCC, valid for 1 month.
*Buy-in is signified by the investment in a FITS Mighty-Bundle, which allows you access to selective tools that enable you to connect various techniques, strategies, and scenarios with the classes you teach. -
Stimuli for Professional Dialogue
Use as stimuli for joint inquiry with
a colleague, especially if you both teach the same group.
Perfect for peer coaching or mentoring, either in person or remotely if logistics are an issue. -
Outcomes
This is not a deficit model. You will experience a sense of agency as you systematically reflect on (and discuss) variables influencing the classroom climate.
- You will have evidence of impact to justify your investment in professional learning;
