Elementary School For Principals & Administrators

Are you an instructional coach or administrator at an elementary school searching for an effective way to support your teachers in mastering classroom management? Whether you're working with new teachers eager to develop strong management skills or veteran educators looking to refresh their strategies, this professional development (PD) workshop is designed to equip them with the tools they need to create a positive, structured learning environment.

This PD is ideal for teacher orientation sessions, setting new teachers up for success before the school year begins. It provides a clear roadmap for establishing a classroom management plan that fosters student engagement, minimizes disruptions, and supports academic growth.

For veteran teachers, the workshop offers innovative techniques and fresh ideas to reinvigorate their classroom practices, ultimately enhancing student behavior and boosting achievement.

Key features of this professional development include:

• Creating Effective Classroom Management Plans: Guidance on how to establish clear expectations, procedures, and routines that promote a calm, focused learning environment.
