The Four Keys to Effective Classroom and Behavior Management: Building Community, Motivation, Responsibility, and School Safety

by Richard L. Curwin

The Four Keys to Effective Classroom and Behavior Management video series helps educators explore the four key skill areas essential to establishing an atmosphere that supports learning for all - Community Build classroom community by connecting with students personally, academically, and socially. - Motivation Motivate student learning by welcoming all students and through energizing lessons, energizing ourselves, and energizing evaluation. - Responsibility Develop responsibility in students through increasing their awareness of behavior, the connection to consequences, and participation in classroom decision-making. - School Safety Make and keep students safe by using routines and procedures, defusing power struggles, and teaching them how to handle difficult situations. Each of the four video programs in the workshop focuses on one of these skills and includes proven and research-based strategies from experts Richard L. Curwin and Allen N. Mendler. Participants will also see these powerful strategies in action in dramatized and actual scenes in the elementary, middle, and high school settings.
