The chapter sets out techniques to create a positive classroom atmosphere, check for understandings, stay realistic, and use distraction. Lastly, the text explains the concept of the “third way,” meaning a combination of the teacher’s pedagogical background and local expectations within a classroom can create a space for win-win interactions between students and teachers.
