Effective Democratic Teachers

I believe an effective democratic classroom works when the students have an equal say in the how they are taught and how the classroom runs. Having the students make a list of expectations to follow, shows that the students have say so in the class and helps them feel apart of their learning experience. I also want the students to vote on how they want the material presented to them. I will give several options to pick from. I will have one student each day be in charge or be the leader for the day. The students will have to report to their leader for many tasks; for example lunch count. This classroom is promoting citizenship due to voting, leaders, and student input.
