Specific steps of each strategy will be described in detail so that participants can readily implement the interventions in their own classrooms with little additional preparation.
Dr. Kern and Dr. George will familiarize you with assessments that will allow you to take a deeper look at your classroom environment in order to optimize behavior and learning over the long term. Attendees will be introduced to assessments that will help them determine strengths in their classroom and identify areas needing improvement. The information will link directly to classroom improvements.
Dr. Kern and Dr. George will share how to:
- Identify classroom features that contribute to optimal learning and appropriate behavior
- Assess the environment in your own classroom to determine variables contributing to behavior and learning problems
- Describe three strategies to improve student behavioral outcomes and three instructional approaches that will enhance student engagement and motivation
There will be time for Dr. Kern and Dr. George to answer your questions after their presentation. This webinar is designed for classroom teachers, staff, and administrators at all grade levels.
