This professional learning session is designed to help Middle and High School Educators (Grades 6-12) set up learning environments for general and special education students with diverse needs, skill levels, and backgrounds that are developmentally appropriate and promote positive behaviors.
Participants will learn about 8 evidence-based classroom management practices:
1) arranging the physical environment,
2) defining, teaching, and acknowledging expectations and rules,
3) defining and teaching classroom procedures and routines,
4) active supervision,
5) behavior-specific praise,
6) response strategies for inappropriate behavior,
7) class-wide behavior management systems and
8) promoting active student engagement.
The training includes interactive activities and opportunities for participants to consider how to apply the information to their settings.
This is now a ONE-DAY training at SW BOCES.
