Working with and teaching middle school students can be very challenging and rewarding. It requires constant updating of skills to keep pace with the ever changing educational environment due to new rules and regulations, changing culture, and new technology.
In this teacher training course you will learn:
1. How to effectively structure and manage your classroom to improve student behaviors
2. How to structure Lesson Plans to engage students bell to bell
3. How to communicate with students and parents
4. How to choose appropriate grading and assessment strategies
5. Much much more
Many of the topics that are covered in this course are not taught in detail during most teacher preparation programs or are ignored entirely.
I have distilled many years of teaching experience in the classroom, hundreds of observations as an instructional coach, and research from my Doctor of Education program to bring you what does and does not work well in the 21st century middle school classroom.
Join the course and help your current and future middle school students become successful in all of their endeavors!
Certificate of Completion will be emailed after satisfactory course feedback is completed.
