Creating a Positive Learning Environment

Designed for educators in the K-12 system, in this 3-day course learners will deepen classroom management skills by exploring ways to respond to challenging classroom situations where the pressures are numerous, complex, and potentially contentious. Learners will examine how to deal constructively with teaching content process and student relationship issues, heightened emotion, challenging participant behaviours, and conflict. Scenario-based simulations will provide the opportunity to practice relevant communication and intervention skills. Reflective practice will be encouraged through self-reflection and peer feedback.
