EDUA 5723 A Well-Managed Classroom

A WELL-MANAGED CLASSROOM FOR 21ST-CENTURY EDUCATORS

Every school year, one of the biggest challenges teachers face is managing their classroom effectively. After all, for students to achieve their potential, they need to be in a calm, organized, and healthy environment. However, students today bring to the classroom an array of personal struggles that affect their day-to-day learning and cooperation with their classmates and teachers.  

In this course, you’ll develop practical, research-based classroom management techniques tailored to your unique student population. These best practices will help to enhance your students’ emotional intelligence and academic achievement, boost their confidence, and equip them with skills that will help them succeed in your classroom and beyond. You’ll learn how to build rapport with your students and their parents to create an environment of mutual respect and positive interactions. Finally, together with your students, you will establish routines and expectations that will empower students to take ownership of their actions.  

With the tools and techniques from this course, you’ll be able to build a thriving, positive learning environment for your students—and for you. 

NOTE: If you have taken the Advancement Courses online courses Classroom Management Strategies for an Organized Classroom or Effective Classroom Management for the 21st Century, we advise you not to take this course, as its content is similar. You may, instead, take one of our other courses in classroom management strategies.
