Classroom management skills can make or break the classroom experience for teachers and students. In this fun, interactive session, learn practical, easy-to-implement strategies to increase structure, consistency, and calm while reducing misbehavior, stress, and wasted time. Explore simple, innovative ways to teach and reinforce key routines and procedures and learn to use consequences to invite cooperation instead of confrontation while you model respectful communication and teach accountability. Leave with your toolbox overflowing with ideas you can use tomorrow!

The integration of research-based self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies can positively impact learners across grade levels. Given that SRL is a mechanism for supporting students to develop individualized learning strategies (e.g., goal setting, planning, time management), this session will engage with participants as they (a) further build their understanding of SRL and (b) learn how to infuse SRL strategies in their instructional plans. Personalized SRL-based learning supports will be discussed along with strategies for immediate implementation!
