Students #1 and #2 are side-chatting during lecture...student #3 opens a bag of chips and begins chomping away‚ student #4 is engaged, but drops some foul language while participating. Does this sound familiar or are you wondering what to do if it does happen? Research shows that classroom management is the #1 challenge for teachers and is an enduring concern for both administrators and the public. However, basic classroom management strategies can help you prevent issues, intervene when required, and in turn you can succeed in creating what educational psychologists refer to as a ‚”productive learning environment”. Outcomes: 1. Explain and implement best practices in preventing classroom challenges and intervening in classroom challenges. 2. Define and explain a productive learning environment 3. Explain how productive learning environments support student academic success.
