ED 566 Classroom Management: Secondary
This course explores teaching strategies for managing a secondary classroom and the standards found in Connecticut's Common Core of Teaching that pertain to classroom management. Candidates learn practical approaches for the establishment of procedures and routines. This course is designed for teachers and candidates in training who are interested in effective classroom management and the promotion of a safe, orderly, and inviting place in which to teach and learn. The course will initially focus on creating a positive learning environment where negative, distracting behaviors are less likely to occur. Candidates will gain the insight, knowledge, and skills that will enable them to cope with classroom disruptions and will incorporate a variety of techniques that are appropriate for the secondary level. Candidates will explore methods and systems of management that will allow them to move beyond traditional rewards, punishments, bribes, and threats. This course is offered at the Griswold Campus as a hybrid course with a combination of face-to-face and online classes. Includes a five-hour service-learning experience in a PK-12 educational setting.
