Professional Development Portfolio
Tried and True… Classroom Management for Occasional Teachers
- with Connie Zoet
In-your-face defiance, refusal to work, rudeness, back talk,
and "Make me!" are just a few of the attitudes and behaviours
faced daily by Occasional Teachers who take over when the
regular teacher is absent. Occasional teaching is challenging
and without effective strategies for managing what students
regularly dish up, our days can be long and stressful. In this
workshop, Occasional Teachers will identify behaviours, explore
why students behave the way they do, and learn effective,
positive strategies to prevent and/or deal with negative
behaviours.
