Classroom Management Questions and Answers

Classroom Management Questions and Answers

I surveyed my teacher subscribers and asked them what they wanted to know before the school year starts.

Hundreds of teachers replied to my survey in 2008.

We took a sampling of their questions and answered them.

The presentation with teachers took place just before school started in August 2008. The question asked was: “What is your biggest challenge in teaching.”

For the majority of the questions, the answers have stood the test of time.

Questions were submitted by teachers on the following categories:

• Special Education
• Personal and Professional Development
• School Administration
• Classroom Discipline
• Standardized Testing
• Curriculum
• Student Motivation
• Individualized Instruction
• Professional Communications

In this webinar and audio, you get three different approaches: a practicing classroom teacher’s perspective, a school administrator’s perspective and an educational consultant’s perspective.

Marjan Glavac brings his perspective as a full-time classroom teacher.
Paul Jackson brings an administrative perspective to the talk.
Joe Martin brings his perspective as a teacher consultant working with at risk youth.
