Defining the Consequences: Student-Behavior Management With Doug Lemov
This is an encore showing of the webinar offered after school last week: Doug Lemov, author of the widely read Teach Like a Champion, has spent much of his career trying to figure out what makes great teachers great -- and through his research, he's determined that much of it comes down to the concrete techniques teachers use to manage their classrooms. Lemov will describe how you can use consequences to positively shape student behavior. He'll discuss how to employ logical consequences in a timely and consistent manner. Lemov will also share the common mistakes made in behavior management and how you can improve your use of corrections to make the classroom a more productive place.
