A Primary Teacher's Guide to Positive Discipline (K-3)/Flex Course

 

What are the first thoughts that come into your head when you hear the word discipline? Students that don’t follow rules, students who constantly misbehave, your overall troublemakers? You probably think of discipline as how you manage the problem students. This course helps teachers learn new and innovative ways for managing and controlling behavior using traditional and non-traditional, positive methods. Teachers will be provided with many resources and ideas to effectively manage their primary grade classrooms and student behavior while proactively promoting organization, communication, safety, structure, and a positive classroom environment that supports learning.

"I feel that the content of this course was very relevant and appropriate for any elementary school teacher." - Kathy Lopergalo
