Creating the Dynamic Classroom Environment ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

Participants will explore the extensive research base behind classroom management and work to create a classroom management plan that will provide a foundation on which to build instruction for the rest of the school year. They will investigate their curriculum and instruction to find ways to engage students in learning, which will virtually eliminate classroom management issues. Since preventive measures are not a failsafe, participants will explore some minor, escalating, and major behavior problems to better prepare students to address these situations as they arise. Participants will also explore how to address the special needs of inclusive classrooms, as well as technology in the classroom.
