New Research-Proven Techniques for Effective Classroom Management and Smart Teaching
Abstract
Drawing on new research in the fields of education, cognitive science, and neuroscience, this workshop will introduce and explain a variety of useful techniques for effective classroom management and smart teaching, as well caution against common study habits that have proven to be largely ineffective. Regarding classroom management, the techniques will touch on setting and maintaining high behavioral and academic expectations, creating a strong classroom culture, effective use of classroom environment/materials, and student motivation. It will also present research-based suggestions for smart teaching, including how to structure and deliver lessons, engage students effectively during lessons, and teach students more efficient ways of studying, remembering and learning. These techniques can benefit both new and experienced instructors, and most can be implemented easily into any classroom environment.
