Breakout Session: "Classroom Management Reimagined: Mastering the Art and Science of Student Behavior Management"

In this eye-opening presentation, we'll confront the challenges many educators face managing student behavior. Dr. Woodly dives into the art and science of classroom management through research[1]based methods with the focus on creating an environment that fosters engagement, learning, and positive interactions, rather than triggering resistance and misdeeds. Discover transformative, actionable strategies that will revolutionize your approach to behavior management, equipping you with the knowledge and strategies to optimize student emotions and motivations, and create a harmonious learning atmosphere. Embrace the power of modern behavior science and leave behind outdated practices that hold you back.
