The Innovative Northwest Teacher
DISTANCE CLASSES
AT YOUR
OWN PACE
Working with Challenging Children in the Classroom
Marilyn Hill NEW
Today’s teachers are expected to be just as skilled in dealing with students’ social, emotional and behavioral issues as they are delivering curriculum. In this distance learning class, examine strategies for motivating difficult students and promoting their problem-solving competency. You will work on understanding the causes of misbehavior as well as how to spend less time on discipline. Issues addressed will include classroom management, attention deficit disorder, children experiencing loss, lack of social skills, promoting individual student resiliency, plus forming partnerships with parents.
