Conscious Classroom Management is a lively, fun, and interactive workshop that addresses these questions, giving K-12 teachers practical solutions for successfully managing their classrooms. In this fast paced, laughter-filled seminar, you will learn and explore
• how to make invisible management skills visible;
• how to "hold your ground" in ways that invite student cooperation;
• many specific management strategies you can use right away;
• practical approaches for motivating your reluctant learners;
• key ties between "student friendly" lessons and easy classroom management;
• a variety of "nuts and bolts" that are vital for classroom survival;
• and strategies that result in reduced anxiety and a fresher, more positive approach to teaching.
