We have all seen teachers who seem to effortlessly bring out the best in their students. It may seem as if these teachers were born with an innate skill, allowing them to manage their classrooms with ease; however, effective classroom managers are made, not born.

In Classroom Management: Building Effective Relationships, you will investigate the various facets of classroom management. You will examine some common approaches to classroom management to find the one that is best for you, laying the foundation for your classroom management plan. You will then build on the foundation by examining the student-teacher relationship and uncovering the strategies that will support your approach to classroom management. Finally, you will learn how all of these pieces can fit together to create a cohesive, school wide model.

Prerequisites: Minimum computer hardware requirements with internet access.

Cancellation Policy: To receive a refund for this class, EMAIL your cancellation request to registration@psesd.org within two weeks of your registration confirmation. Refunds are valid ONLY if the participant has not started the course.

Available: 20 PSESD clock hours ($60) or 2 Seattle University credits ($100).
