CISE 5200 Classroom Management

This graduate level course addresses the issues currently affecting secondary learning environments in both regular and special education. The ever shortening attention spans of adolescents combined with the increased pressure to meet and maintain academic standards has created unique classroom management challenges. Now more than ever teachers require an understanding of the factors that contribute to a well-organized, peaceful, productive classroom environment. This requires creativity, resourcefulness and reflection on the part of the teacher. Prospective teachers will reflectively evaluate the history of classroom management techniques and their own styles and philosophies of classroom management in both a seminar and clinical setting.
