Helping Teachers Grow, a leading provider of online teacher training and class management assistance, has just released their ground breaking course designed to help teachers establish and implement an effective classroom management system. Geared towards teachers at any level, this online training provides videos and supplementary materials that walk teachers through the entire process of creating, implementing, and maintaining their own classroom management system.
Darren Barkett, president of Helping Teachers Grow, has seen first-hand the effect our nationwide teacher shortage has had on our classes. "With every teacher who leaves teaching due to
the difficulty of managing today's students, our school systems suffer - as do our students. We, as a profession, need to be doing more to help our struggling teachers become more
effective in the classroom."
Barkett, a teacher himself for over 12 years, has transformed from a struggling beginning teacher to an effective and efficient veteran teacher, thanks in part to the training he received
early on in his career as a teacher.
"I would never have made it this far in the teaching profession if it hadn't been for the help I received at a crucial moment in my career. The training I've received and the practices
I've utilized over the last dozen years have enabled me to create class management systems that empower my students, respectfully handle difficult students and situations in the
classroom, and streamline administrative issues, all of which can detract from our true purpose as teachers- teaching!"
The low-cost online training will help teachers learn to manage situations like students who are chronically tardy, students who fail to do homework, disrespectful and negative students,
the student who always needs to use the bathroom, as well as other issues like unprepared students and students who won't follow directions. The online videos are available for repeated
viewing through the website and for instant download as are the student behavior check sheet and slides from the videos for quick reference.
In addition, HelpingTeachersGrow.com provides a community forum of educators working together to help teachers problem solve the difficult issues that come up in our classrooms. This,
combined with the blog written by Barkett, form the basis of HelpingTeachersGrow.com's community of teachers and learners.
