From the Paper:

"Throughout the nation, teachers use their personal characteristics, strengths and experiences to develop learning plans. It is part of what drives parents to request particular teachers for their children year after year. An innovative teacher can take the most mundane lesson and turn it into a fun experience for his or her students however, if he or she does not have good classroom management skills the lesson will be lost(Houseal, 2003). Classroom management allows the classroom students to work together as a cohesive group, thereby providing an environment conducive to learning new material and reinforcing already learned lessons."
