Whether you are a first-year teacher, a 20 year veteran, or an educational support professional, chances are that you have at least one area of classroom management you would like to improve upon. Managing the behavior, social emotional, and learning needs of 30 or more students is one of the biggest challenges most educators face.
So, how can you improve your classroom management skills or simply sharpen a few well established strategies or techniques? One thing you can do is to participate in professional learning opportunities. NEA provides two types of professional learning opportunities for members.
