The Catalyst Approach: Whole Group Classroom Leadership Classroom Management Strategies

Facilitators, Jacki Brickman & Nancy Burns, The Catalyst Approach

The CATALYST APPROACH’s Classroom Management Strategies promote strong and supportive relationships between educators and students through 12 easy and practical behavior management skills that are grounded in connection and aimed at disrupting patterns of frustration, confusion and inquiry in the classroom.

Strategies are specific to shifting students attention, providing clear communication and engagement during lessons, and supporting success during times of independent and group practice or application of learning.

Participants will learn to:

• Be even more proactive and equitable in their practice
• Develop approaches to support individuals and keep the rest of the group engaged in learning simultaneously
• Increase flexibility and reduce surprise
• Keep the focus on connections instead of student behavior
• Support facilitation instruction
• Provide trauma sensitive learning environments

Key Learning Objectives:

Participants are prepared to implement strategies that:

• Prioritize connection over compliance

• Build and preserve relationships with students while reducing the focus on student

  behavior

• Increase one’s flexibility and reduce surprise in the classroom

Each participant will receive The Foundational Skills & Beyond Introductory Workbook.
