Participants will analyze the dynamics of the classroom unit and examine effective classroom management strategies in light of their own teaching environments. Participants will examine various management approaches along with their values, beliefs, and philosophy about discipline, then either choose an existing approach or create on of their own. Participants examine several models of integrated curricula and design a thematic unit using one or more of these models. This course is applicable for teachers at all levels K-12.
