The intent of establishing a self-managed classroom is to establish an environment that helps students to be successful by directly addressing all of the academic skills at the same time as it teaches them teamwork and empowers them to make choices that make the learning environment more productive and fun. It is well documented that student-oriented teaching practices and practices that engage students in hands-on activities positively affect the classroom disciplinary and academic climate.
