ED566 Tools for Teaching:  Strategies for Effective Management

Gayla LaBreck

What are the basic principles of effective classroom and behavior management? This course will provide students with the opportunity to examine the topics of instruction, motivation, and discipline with the goal of developing strategies to synthesize these elements into an effective classroom management style.   Each day will be filled with interactive strategies that prepare participants to create a culture within their classroom that allows students to grow and learn while spending less time on discipline.  Participants will learn:  1.  that the determining factor for whether or not lessons come alive and students learn depends upon the teacher’s skill; 2.  how to produce classrooms where students and teachers look forward to getting to school in the morning; 3. procedures that are practical and down to earth;  4. how to put the students to work helping them to become independent learners; and that 5. effective management saves time and effort.
