Classroom management is often cited as the single skill that distinguishes a great teacher from all others. But what exactly is this magic skill? In reality, there are a great many strategies, actions and even attitudes that constitute effective classroom management: From creating a positive learning environment to dealing with inappropriate behaviour; from setting up the physical structure of your classroom to establishing routines; from addressing individual learning styles, to ensuring equity for all your students. All of these have an impact on the workings of any classroom, and ultimately on the success of any teacher.

In this workshop, we will be discussing strategies that can strengthen your teaching ability by considering approaches that have worked well for others, as well as looking at a few that have not worked well for others. The posted resource documents contain many practical hints and tips that you may wish to use in your own classroom.
