Classroom Management and Effective Teaching of Children and Adolescents with Emotional and Behavioral Problems
A conference for teachers, administrators, counselors, social workers, and psychologists focused on evidence-based classroom strategies that really make a difference
Many children have emotional or behavioral problems that present special challenges for teachers and others in school. This workshop will provide you with strategies to enhance learning, build self-esteem and control disruptive and otherwise troublesome behavior of students with emotional and behavioral problems.
We will discuss the causes of these problems (conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, depression and bipolar disorder, bullying, societal violence, parental mismanagement, among others) and, on this foundation, build practical strategies to maintain behavioral control and teach effectively.
