ED 3710 - Elementary Classroom Organization and Management

Students will examine and apply recent research on effective classroom management, concentrating on such variables as time on task; appropriate choice of group structures and direct instruction; the management of time, space, and materials; and the analysis of classroom interactions. Students will design, implement, and evaluate an integrated curriculum and will learn management principles designed to minimize “discipline problems.” Micro-teaching experiences and a supervised teaching practicum will give each student the opportunity to apply research on effective teaching and to become an effective classroom manager. Requires a minimum of one (1) day per week participation in a classroom.
