Classroom Management
Presented by Carol Alver

This workshop will enable the teacher to build the necessary skills to develop a respectful, responsible and resourceful community. After the completion of the training course, all teachers face the challenge of reconciling the ideal set in their training courses and the experiences they are having in the classrooms. Presenter, Carol Alver, has been a teacher, mentor and consultant at the Primary Level for over four decades. She has a unique knack for holding fast to the ideal, helping teachers to identify places they are not meeting it, and inspiring them to reach for it. She has had many years of experience involving special needs children in the classroom.

The workshop is designed to help the teacher develop the social aspects of the primary classroom. It will include:

• How to maintain the three-hour work period
• Small group work
• Transitions throughout the day
• Use of the assistant
• The need for movement
• Observation
• Problem solving
• Developing repetition
• Understanding the non-verbal messages
• Sending work home

These topics will be discussed and demonstrated throughout the workshop.
