COURSE OVERVIEW
Does your classroom seem like a nightmare at times? Let’s face it — we’ve all been there at one time or another. It doesn’t matter if you are new to the profession or a seasoned veteran, there’s no doubt about it — managing an entire classroom of students can be tough. This online course begins by introducing different management styles and helping you find just the right fit for your classroom. The course also addresses the importance of creating a positive environment for students so they feel both engaged and motivated to learn. Some of the most daunting classroom management issues are addressed including how to keep your students motivated, working with diverse student populations, and engaging students with limited resources. Issues related to social-emotional learning will also be fully explored. Teachers will also learn about the importance of being organized, as well as how to create clear and concise rules and routines which have logical consequences. Suggestions for the best ways to respect diversity and differences will also be explored. Rounding out the course is managing small groups, establishing a solid home-school connection, and how to prevent and address bullying issues. By the end of this course, teachers will have the tools they need to better engage, motivate, and manage their students.
