Table of Contents

Description

This course has been created for teachers who want to learn more about managing an effective and up-to-date classroom that encourages participation and engaged learning using the latest techniques and classroom tools.

Teachers will learn more about managing a classroom through reflection, teacher observation, and case scenarios, which encourage discussion and resolution of the most common classroom problems. 

Through interactive and engaging activities participants will learn how to boost motivation, establish classroom rules, provide clear instructions, monitor, develop rapport, incorporate pair and group work, and gain tips for encouraging students to reflect on their own classroom behavior.

In addition, the course will include a discussion on what exactly a Flipped Classroom is and how this new teaching ‬method can be put to use with the subject being taught. Finally, assessment and evaluation will be addressed along with the incorporation of student portfolios, rubrics, and presentation strategies.

By the end of this Classroom Management course, participants will have gained greater insight into what makes a classroom run smoothly and what it takes to “Flip” their own classrooms. They will also become more familiar with Project and Task-Based Learning and take away ideas for evaluating student learning and participation effectively.

The trainer is a true professional. She was well prepared and was very supportive throughout our course. She managed to guide us to further develop our intercultural competence skills in regards to our classroom implications. I cannot praise her enough for the hard work and the amazing job she did during our week with her.
