Each day in the classroom it is all about getting the students from where they are to where they need to be. This challenge can be more than meets the eye because culturally diverse students walk into our classrooms at all different levels. When it comes to teaching learners from diverse backgrounds, we understand there’s a disconnect somewhere - but how do we solve this issue? Dr. Woodly offers strategies educators can put in place to transform learning objectives that students perceive as mundane or boring, into genuinely interesting and engaging experiences by making learning culturally responsive and relevant. 

Many teachers struggle with classroom management because we still employ outdated practices and give no consideration to modern behavior science. What do I mean? Simply stated, using these methods considers the fact that we (in this case students) have feelings, insecurities, and reasons why they want or do not want to do certain things. Therefore, this method teaches you to optimize for their feelings, natural motivations, and reasons to engage in learning - not misdeeds. 

“How to Master Classroom Management in Urban Schools” will prepare your school to: 

• Reduce repeated disrespect, defiance and disruption 
• Identify and eliminate the root causes of negative behaviors
• Help students to self-regulate
• Spark the engagement and motivation of your students
• Build authentic relationships with some of the most challenging students

This focuses on a part of the equation in the classroom that is too often overlooked. The teacher. Dr. Woodly often works with a lot of educators that experience high levels of stress and low motivation, with no real answers as to how to overcome the obstacles that come along with teaching in difficult circumstances. To say this is an absolute game-changer, that is no exaggeration. A game-changer.
