You’ve created a dynamic lesson plan filled with creative activities, movement, and discussion. You’ve utilized Bloom’s Taxonomy to ensure the content you are teaching is high up on the pyramid. You’re convinced the education your learners are about to receive will be nothing short of miraculous. Yet, at the end of the day, you’ve discovered that things didn’t go quite as you had envisioned. Learners were off task, behaviour issues were higher than anticipated, and you exhausted too much time on learner corrections and too little time on teaching content. If you’ve been teaching long enough, you’ve probably survived this scenario once or twice. What went wrong? Why didn’t the learners respond to your teaching in the manner you anticipated? 

The greatest lesson planning coupled with incredible teaching doesn’t always equate to effective education or learner learning. From early childhood education through high school learners need structure and stability that teachers provide through the consistent application of their classroom management plan. In this course, we are going to teach the components of your classroom management plan and show you how to incorporate it with fidelity. 

It all begins with strategic planning. Teachers are leaders and successful leaders plan strategically. During this course, we’re going to create your classroom management plan. We’ll start by creating your core values, vision, mission statement, and goals. Next, we’ll describe and create your classroom rules, procedures, consequences, and a rewards and motivation system. But we won’t stop there, we’ll discuss effective tier-1 strategies, and attention signals, and as a bonus, we’ll review and I’ll provide you with a copy of an Effective Classroom Management Dashboard.  

Effective classroom management is the cornerstone of effective teaching. Even with the best of intentions, a child’s education can be halted when structure and stability are missing in the classroom. Classroom Management – Fundamentals of Teaching & Education, from start to finish will not only teach you how to create an effective classroom management plan, but we will build your plan together to improve teaching in your classroom, minimize behavior issues, and accelerate the education of all of your learners.
