Effective classroom management is critical to supporting student engagement and achievement.
You can spend hours crafting a creative, engaging, standards-aligned lesson, but that lesson will be of little use if taught in a chaotic or unsafe classroom. Classroom management issues are a leading cause of educator burnout. What's more, poor classroom management can harm students by diminishing instructional time and pushing students into the school-to-prison pipeline.
Reframing Classroom Management offers educators a variety of tools to help demystify common behaviors and reinforce what works. Based on input from over 1,200 educators, the handouts help users foster empathy, avoid common mistakes, improve their teacher-student relationships and find alternatives to classroom removal. A forthcoming publication will describe the research that underpins these suggestions and offer further recommendations for implementation.
