This course focused on implementing positive strategies within the classroom. Participants were encouraged to consider their ideal classroom setting and were equipped with the tools for expert classroom management to upgrade their capabilities. The aim was to stimulate the creation of supportive classroom resources and cultivate a positive atmosphere for students. The program “Effective Classroom Management Strategies for Teachers and Education Staff” held in Puerto de la Cruz in the island of Tenerife from 18/03/2024 to 23/03/2024, offered a new perspective on key topics and additional themes. This course was attended by Irene from Salgótarjáni Bolyai János Gimnázium in Hungary, Brian, Kåre, Bjarne, Kenneth , Kristin and Maria from NEXT kbh. in Denmark, Gabriella from BSZC Széchenyi István Bilingual technical School of Economics in Hungary, Małgorzata from Publiczna Szkola Podstawowa w Elgnowie in Poland. A big initial part of the course was Social Emotional Learning (SEL), which helps people get better at understanding and handling their feelings, and also get what others are feeling. This skill makes classrooms a nicer place to be. After that, they talked about how Group Dynamics is a key element for keeping things relaxed and getting students involved and building their social skills. This is really important for stop kids from dropping out. We did all sorts of activities to get better at picking up on how different people act in a group, and to practice ways of including everyone. Communication was big focus area of focus; they talked a lot about how it helps building a growth mindset and resilience. Using ICT tools turned out to be a big help for managing classrooms, especially in a flipped classroom setup. Lastly, They also covered Conflict Management; everyone got to think about their own ideas and assumptions, and learned how conflicts can actually be good learning moments if they’re handled in the correct way. In our class management course, we prioritize feedback as the final crucial element for effective teaching. By exploring strategies like formative assessments and peer evaluations, we ensure educators can foster student engagement and enhance learning outcomes. Emphasizing the constructive nature of feedback, we empower instructors to adapt teaching methods, creating supportive environments that optimize student success.
