Classroom Management – Can You Please be Easier on Us, the Teachers?

Abstract

Classroom management is a topic of constant worry and consistently ranks as the most pressing concern for teachers in many different contexts. It can also sometimes be very difficult to define as lots of factors contribute to its functioning. In this workshop, participants are going to be invited to redefine classroom management and taken through a series of tasks with the idea of assisting them in making the classroom management less challenging and thus maximizing student involvement and interest.
