The learner will recognize important concepts like punishment and reinforcement as they relate to classroom management. Also, the learner will gain new understanding in why some classroom management strategies are ineffective. The term “paradigm paralysis” will be introduced as an important concept.

Determine general categories of factors contributing to a problem and learn about the 6 general categories of causes commonly used in C&E diagramming.
Specific steps are outlined for K-8th grade classroom management in order to tailor to this population of students. Important concepts are emphasized with interactive media.
It is important to understand both concepts for effective classroom management: what teachers should do and say versus what teachers should not do or say. These distinctions are important as research shows that most teachers have been conditioned to a certain paradigm of responding to misbehavior. This portion of the training focuses on what not to do and provides rationale for those recommendations.
The content in this course is based on behavioral theory and considerable research. The concepts and steps presented in this course have been successfully replicated over 1000 trials. This clearly meets the definition of an evidence-based intervention. In this section, some of those outcomes will be shared with the learner.
