Strong classroom management is often built on small, intentional practices that make a big difference. This session is designed for beginning teachers and educators seeking additional support with foundational behavior management strategies. Participants will explore practical, easy-to-implement approaches that help create calm, structured, and engaging learning environments for all students. Topics will include environmental design, visual supports, predictable routines, sensory and movement breaks, reducing teacher talk, increasing student independence, proactive behavior supports, and relationship-building strategies that prevent behaviors before they escalate. Attendees will leave with realistic tools and ideas they can immediately apply in general education or special education classrooms.
