Effective Classroom Management

This workshop is intended to assist classroom teachers in designing or fine-tuning a proactive and positive classroom management plan that includes how to structure the classroom for success, teach expectations, monitor students, build relationships, and effectively correct behavior.  Based on practical, research-based practices, teachers will leave with strategies that can be implemented immediately, including communicating their expectations for every classroom activity and transition.  By implementing these strategies, teachers will reduce disruptions and referrals, improve classroom climate, increase student on-task behavior, and establish respectful and civil interactions.
