http://www.afmte.org/ Instructors in bodywork education programs are subject matter experts, yet we often lack training to cope with the challenges of the adult-learner classroom. Proactive Classroom Management Tools empowers educators to anticipate issues by clarifying expectations for conduct and procedures. Participants will consider how to create a functional learning environment by demonstrating inherent authority, effectively utilizing accountability and feedback, and, when indicated, lead students in the creation of a proactive classroom conduct agreement. Lecture and interactive, break-out sessions focus on engaging the disengaged student, managing the oversharing student, and identifying the at-risk student, using sample case profiles and participants’ own classroom experiences.
