Succeeding with Challenging Students – Secondary
When
Asia/Singapore
Teachers spend 80% of their time and energy with 20% of the students. This fact is testimony to the challenges that teachers face with students who are difficult, disruptive, or disorderly. This full day workshop is intended for the secondary teachers who experience students who fit this description: students who talk back, are defiant, don’t follow your directions, want control of your class, are silly, can’t pay attention, and won’t sit still?
Kathryn will present an interactive workshop with hundreds of practical ideas that have been proven to work with students who exhibit common challenging behaviors. Participants will develop a classroom management plan designed to keep misbehaviors to a minimum, as well as create individual management systems for the toughest of students.
