Classroom Management: Moving Beyond the Disruption THE PROGRAM PROGRAM GOALS & OBJECTIVES In many classrooms across America, teachers contend with classroom disruptions which can derail the focus of an entire group of students. There may be a variety of reasons why a teacher may have difficulty in leading the classroom. Difficulty may be due to small inconsequential disruptions or to more formidable problems involving student behavioral issues. Unfortunately, the odds that a teacher will encounter a student with behavioral issues which will affect his or her classroom are high. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), some studies suggest that oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), which is a persistent pattern of disobedient, hostile, and defiant behavior toward authority figures, exists in 1 to 6% of the school-age population. SAMHSA also estimates that conduct disorder (also known as disruptive behavior disorder), which involves stealing, fighting or bullying, affects 1 to 4% of 9- to 17-year-olds, depending on how the disorder is defined. In addition, the National Institute of Mental Health estimates that approximately 3 to 5% of children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which means that in a standard classroom of 25 to 30 students, there will be one student with ADHD. Teachers who instruct in elementary, junior, and senior high schools are invited to learn more about methods they can effectively use to create a positive learning environment, intervene in disruptive behavior, and regain focus with their students. This program is being offered July 26-30, prior to the new school year, so that teachers may bring a fresh understanding of this material into their classrooms. Participants are eligible for 20 CPDUs through this workshop. This workshop will study Classroom Management Models as they apply to educational settings. The program will examine how organization and management contribute to learning. Legal policies, procedures, and strategies for dealing with behavior, disruption, and conflict resolution are also examined through this workshop. THE FEATURED INSTRUCTOR Howard Hyde, M.A., M.Ed., has instructed and worked with high-risk youth as a teacher and dean. He has also worked in mental health organizations as a Behavior Services Consultant and as a Therapeutic Staff Support Counselor and has designed and revised Behavioral Modification Treatment Plans for at-risk children between the ages of 5 and 18 and for urban at-risk students ages 13 to 18. Mr. Hyde teaches a classroom management course for undergraduate and graduate students at Western Illinois University during the fall semester. Upon successful completion of this workshop, the participant will be able to • Understand various classroom management principles, theories, and programs. • Apply identified classroom management principles and theories to the classroom. • Identify and discriminate between effective and ineffective classroom management practices. • Compare and evaluate various classroom management methods and their relative effectiveness. • Identify common causes for, and the possible repercussions of, “problem student” behaviors. • Understand and discuss current political and philosophical perspectives on classroom management issues in American public education. • Prepare to engage in consistent and longitudinal self-reflection on professional beliefs and practices concerning classroom management issues with the aim of improving instructional and behavior management responses to student behaviors in the classroom environment.
