Description: This workshop is designed for teachers with less than two years experience. The focus of the workshop is to help new teachers in creating a learning environment that engages students in the concepts being explored in the curriculum. Participants will review and discuss classroom management techniques such as establishing routines, maintaining momentum, motivating students, developing disciplinary techniques and communicating with parents and colleagues. We will also review the latest research on the benefits of reflective teaching and differentiated instruction. Participants will explore some of the pitfalls encountered by new teachers and offer strategies to avoid them. The goal will be to apply the strategies and information garnered to individual classrooms. Each week time will be set aside to discuss specific issues of concern to participants.
