Goodwin Teaching Strategies http://works.bepress.com/michelle_goodwin/2 http://works.bepress.com/michelle_goodwin/2 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 14:14:31 PDT The effective teaching of classroom management and discipline skills remains a major challenge for teacher educators in the 21st century. In some ways, instruction and experience with these issues should be the priority for all education programs. Why is this? The answer is simple. If teachers cannot manage their own classroom and control their students, they cannot effectively teach. All of the subject matter knowledge that teachers expect to impart on their students is useless if their students cannot or do not listen and participate in learning activities. The major purpose for this presentation is to provide research-based suggestions on how to effectively prepare pre-service teachers for the realities of today's classrooms. Scott Watson
