Patryce Gleeton
Memphis Shelby County Schools Teacher of the Year 2024 - Trezevant CTC
My philosophy about teaching is simple. I agree with Madeline Hunter when she said, “Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care!” Many think she was being too “warm and fuzzy” but what she meant was you are not going to reach some kids academically until you first reach them on the “human to human” level, and you cannot do that without good classroom management. Sometimes the subject matter in our classrooms can’t compete with the “drama” in their lives. The main ingredient missing in a lot of our classrooms today is a “connection with kids". I believe that research is clear - when students know you value them as a human being, not just another student, they will work harder for you and challenge you less. I also believe teachers don’t need any more theory and new, trendy programs with catchy names. Teachers need to be given research- based, proven, practical strategies and applications that teachers can start implementing immediately – without throwing anything out that is working in their classroom. I have 24 years in the classroom, as a school and community leader. I have served on the board of the National Association of Health Services Executives, Memphis Chapter (NAHSE) and am currently on the board of the Broad Avenue Community & Economic Development Corporation (BRACED).

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" — Nelson Mandela
I believe educators have the toughest job in America as they are asked every day to wear many different hats – mom, dad, nurse, counselor, teacher, advisor, judge, jury, lawyer – just to name a few. I understand that students come into our classrooms and schools with different backgrounds and cultures and their cognitive abilities, assets and experiences are just as wide ranging. Sometimes the only thing students have in common is their age! The “one size fits all” approach does not work anymore. I am a firm believer that every child has great potential and can achieve greatness if given the opportunity and motivation. For this to happen, teachers must be able to teach and have relationships of respect and expectations with each student. This starts with classroom management. I have over 24 years in education as a teacher, librarian, and leader. As a Center For Teacher Excellence Associate Trainer, I have the knowledge and skills to help transform school environments to increase learning and success. I am an educator, author, technologist and leader that believes teachers can change lives, one child at a time!
Why Classroom Management is Important
Classroom management refers to the techniques and strategies that teachers use to maintain a productive, orderly, and respectful learning environment. It involves setting clear expectations, establishing routines, and fostering positive relationships to create a space where students can focus on learning.
