Conscious Classroom Management Workshop Overview

 

Classroom Management Communication Script

What is the ‘Conscious Classroom Management workshop about?

Put simply, the Conscious Classroom Management Workshop is about peak performance. It is about facilitating student learning, behaviour and attitude. As teachers we have experienced the frustration of teaching students who are not performing to their potential. This workshop takes on an active and practical approach to behaviour management.

 

The aim of this workshop:

The aim of this workshop is to provide teachers with practical strategies and techniques to help them understand the dynamics of successful interpersonal interactions. In addition, an understanding of the drivers of human behaviour and communication structures that influence students to comply with teacher requests will be addressed. This workshop will look at both practical classroom management strategies and the concept of “Teacher Presence in applying these strategies.

Testimonials

"Yes!!! This is the first teaching based training I have done where I feel I have got valuable and real strategies to walk away with."

"Rocky - some additional feedback. I was totally blown away by today. I spent an entire PD on Tuesday looking at Behaviour as part of a New Scheme Teacher course and came away feeling demoralised and ill equipped. After a few short hours with you this morning I now feel as though I have a toolbox of practical strategies to start with and I am excited and confident about trying them. So different from how I felt emotionally after Tuesday's course (and let me qualify that with the fact that Tuesday was very polished and pedagogically sound - but mostly theory and lacked concrete examples)."

"Loved it! Very practical! I feel like I have actual strategies for real behaviour management."
