Even the most experienced of teachers will struggle when students present behaviors that are disruptive, disrespectful, and potentially dangerous. These behaviors manifest themselves differently from student to student and can often leave a teacher and other students anxiously looking for answers for how to restore order to the classroom and make it a productive, safe learning environment. In this course, you’ll investigate the various characteristics of effective classroom management, classroom management models and tools and challenging behaviors. You will also explore how to build positive relationships with students that will have an effect on their behavior and how to prepare students to become successful 21st century learners. This online course is offered to Coeur d'Alene School District staff and faculty only and is accessed through ASCD Activate. Instructor: Michael S.
