Course Description

4 Clock Hours
Teachers with all levels of experience use classroom management to meet their daily routines, student expectations, and behavioral challenges among other things. It is a central component to a well-run classroom setting of any kind. Early childhood programs and traditional classrooms of all levels can benefit from a clever classroom management plan. This course will give new and veteran teachers alike a fresh perspective on classroom management as well as some unique and engaging ideas to apply to the classroom environment. There are several interactive pieces in this training as well as hypothetical situations and educator experience articles. This course will provide an overview of mistaken behavior and how child care professionals can understand the behavior and respond appropriately after creating and documenting any patterns on an ABC Chart.
