Classroom Management

Description

We know that what we teach and how we teach are important, but possibly even more important is how well we manage our classroom. From getting students to settle down and pay attention to handling behavior issues and disruptions, this course will explore many aspects of effective classroom management. We will explore how to arrange your classroom, getting ready for the first day of school, setting classroom routines, reinforcing good behavior and managing misbehavior in a positive way.
