The purpose of this research was to present a model for classroom management for creating an effective learning environment wherein students feel accepted and valued as human beings, assuring their right to education. An intra-paradigm mixed research methodology consisted of action research, case study, and photovoice was used. Data were collected through interviews, focus-group discussions, qualitative surveys, observations, document analysis, and photos. The participants were faculty, students, and experts, selected by using purposive sampling. The data were transcribed, translated, and coded. The findings grouped seven core components of CoLearnITT: training model, flipped classroom, classroom management, dimensions of learning, interactive lecturing, mastery learning, and integration of values in teaching and learning. The study presents a practical model of classroom management consisting of procedures, rules, and routines. The recommendation is to apply this model and to test its efficacy in K-12 and higher education.
