EDUA 5756 Classroom Management Strategies
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR STUDENT-CENTERED INSTRUCTION
In the past, classroom management techniques have focused on teachers—giving advice on how to instruct students and manage their behavior. In contrast, effective classroom management in the 21st century calls for a shift to student-centered approaches that place students at the center of the learning experience.
In this course, you will learn how to work with your students to set up a classroom that supports exploration, motivates students, and authentically engages them in meaningful learning experiences. You will develop techniques for building positive teacher–student relationships and dealing with difficult students to prevent power struggles.
With student-centered instruction, your students will practice taking responsibility for themselves, making good choices, and taking ownership over their own learning. You can aid them in this process by creating activities with high levels of engagement and nurturing a prosocial learning environment that drives positive academic and social outcomes.
With the strategies you learn in this course, you will be able to transform your classroom into an environment where students take charge of themselves and their learning.
