Discipline issues are the main obstacle to creating a classroom environment conducive to learning and academic achievement. Discipline issues can also lead to serious work satisfaction and mental health issues for both new and experienced teachers.

Effectively addressing discipline problems is an essential aspect of classroom management and leads to better outcomes for students, teachers, and the classroom as a whole.

The main objective of this course is to introduce participants to evidence-based methods and strategies for tackling discipline issues. A further aim of this course is to help teachers develop a classroom environment that is fully conducive to learning.
