Classroom Management examines how several different components of teaching are integral to creating and maintaining a positive, ethical, equitable, accepting, inclusive, engaging, and safe learning environment. You will explore processes that promote a collaborative community that encourages student voice, leadership, critical inquiry, and self-regulation. In addition, you will establish practices that promote partnerships that value shared responsibility, decision-making, advocacy, and leadership.

Topics in this course include:

  • explore current theories and approaches around classroom management, and reflect on and demonstrate their applicability in different contexts
  • engage in collaborative inquiry and in critical analysis of various data
  • investigate tools, resources and practices, and demonstrate their effectiveness in contributing to a positive learning environment
  • communicate with and involve others in the school community to foster elements that contribute to positive classroom behaviour
  • explore the current stakes of classroom management and their impact on student development and inclusion
  • critically analyze past and current practices in classroom management and determine ones that best match your philosophy
