Managing Your Classroom – Tips for Success

Speaker: Dr. Vermelle Greene, Author and Executive Director of The Boys Initiative

Classroom management is not the same as discipline. Many of the behavior problems that teachers experience have little to do with discipline. Most are caused by a poorly designed or non-existent plan of procedures and routines. To be an effective teacher, you must be an effective manager. In this session, we will discuss how to design and implement a classroom management plan that can work for all teachers and age levels of children.
