Course Description
This highly engaging, research-rich PD course emphasizes a fundamental truth often overlooked in day-to-day classroom management: education is a people business! Packed with expert insights and enlightening multimedia content, this class will instill in participants a newfound awareness that building strong, healthy connections with students is not just an enhancement to their curriculum—it's central to what students need from educators. Participants will learn that a secure, trusting relationship between teacher and student is the cornerstone of positive discipline and the foundation for a safe, harmonious, and productive classroom.
The strategies participants will explore include practicing self-compassion and mindfulness, using positive language and reinforcement, applying a neuroscientific approach to emotional intelligence, making learning fun, shortcuts to establishing trust and mutual respect, building rapport, finding common ground, and designing a prosocial classroom. Upon successful completion, participants will have all the tools and knowledge they need to enhance job satisfaction while boosting student achievement through the power of positive relationships.
SELF-PACED, SELF-GUIDED and ONLINE
This course was designed to honor your valuable time and professionalism. Because it is entirely self-paced, self-guided and online, there are no scheduled meetings, so you are free to work on the content whenever and wherever it is most convenient for you. To make the assignment completion process as painless and efficient as possible, you'll even be provided with an easy-to-use template, so throughout the course all you'll need to do is simply plug your relevant and meaningful assignments into the template, and when you reach the end of the course it will be finished and ready to submit via email or Google Drive!
