Classroom Management (OnDemand)

What strategies and practices contribute to a strong classroom management system? Joseph Fuentes, M.A., a KOI Professional Learning Facilitator and educator in the Phoenix Elementary District, demonstrates how a classroom without a strong classroom management system may seem to have more students requiring Tier 2 interventions than is actually the case. To change that perception and establish a strong classroom management system, Fuentes reviews PBIS Tier 1 Classroom Practices such as Behavior Expectations, Reinforcement Systems, and Accountability Systems and provides evidence-based interventions and strategies that have been proven to positively impact student behavior, including practical guidelines and considerations for the following:

• Classroom routines

• Physical arrangement of the classroom

• Active Supervision

• Opportunities for student response

• Academic engagement time

• Differentiated instruction

• Learning Modalities

Fuentes provides tools for teachers to self assess their own classroom management procedures, determine one change to implement, and create an action plan for successful implementation.
