"Effective Classroom Management: Create Environments Where Students Feel Safe, Supported, and Motivated to Learn"

"Classroom Management: Strategies that Work!"

Summary:

Your students bring everything with them into the classroom- the good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly. When the classroom seems to get out of control, it can be more than difficult to get through the day or even the lesson. We can experience feelings of overwhelm, failure, and we run out of ideas to manage behavior while also implementing instruction. Classroom management is not a one size fits all model. Classroom management is a carefully and intentionally chosen set of routine, procedures, and expectations for behavior in your classroom.

You and your students deserve to learn and enjoy a classroom environment that is authentic, positive, and safe. The workshop will provide you with the knowledge and tools to carefully construct a classroom management plan that will promote a sense of community among your students. Classroom is not about controlling behavior, but rather providing students with the supports to make responsible decisions and providing the opportunity to make mistakes and learn to do better in the future.

This workshop will guide your through the relevant research about student behavior, social and emotional skills, and implementing a system of discipline rather than punishment. The strategies you will gain from this workshop will help you set up your students for success and aid in times of behavior crisis. Your class can be a team that works together to create an unforgettable learning experience!

During this workshop, Teachers will:

• Understand of research behind student behavior and social-emotional development.
• Engage with various models of discipline and classroom management.
• Identify the gaps in your current classroom management and find the right tools!
• Be able to implement intentional strategies to create a positive culture and community in your classroom
• Intentionally construct high behavioral expectations and watch students rise!
• Use restorative and trauma-informed practices to interact with students with compassion and positivity.
• Learn how to authentically engage with students!

Workshop Description:

No classroom is perfect. Every teacher has experienced those days where nothing has gone right. We can’t prevent those not so great days from happening, but we can implement specific and intentional strategies to support our students in the classroom.

We can prepare with procedures, routine, and high expectations for student behavior. This workshop present innovative and low prep strategies to engage students, support students, and promote positive student teacher interactions.

Your students are pretty close to perfect, but they will make mistakes. Lets create a space where mistakes are opportunities to learn, instruction is valued and not interrupted, and students are able to self regulate and self manage their behavior!
