Classroom Management and Engagement Strategies

Location:RM# 215 Presenter:Mike Herndon
Division:ECC/Elementary/IE

Description: Classroom management is an area where we all could use a refresher course to make sure that our students get the most out of the lesson, but also stay focused on the tasks that they have been assigned. During our time, you will be given a few "tools" to help facilitate your classrooms in an active and participatory way. You will also be shown how to integrate some new ideas into your lessons to increase the "Visible Thinking" in a different way.
