Social Climate and Behavior (Case Study)
Behavior and social development are closely connected. Kaiser and Rasminsky argue, "Although you can't see or touch it, the social climate is everywhere, affecting everything you do" (2016, p. 89). The social climate in your learning environment influences your students' behavior because it is comprised of the attitudes and behaviors that are acceptable.
