Tune Up Your Classroom Management: Hard Lessons Learned, Research and Neuroscience
The ability to run an ordered classroom is commonly ranked as one of the most important teacher dispositions, whether at the elementary, middle, or secondary grade level. We now know what tactics help students regulate emotions, engage them, and promote a pro-academic class culture. This webinar will introduce you to techniques gained from Dr. Finley’s experience teaching at an urban K-12 school, and will introduce abundant neuroscience and social science research related to classroom management. By adding new tools to your classroom management approach, this session will boost your effectiveness and confidence.
