Synopsis
The aim of this pre-service course is to enhance teacher efficacy in the contemporary secondary classroom. This course defines the classroom as a site for facilitating learning and teaching and, in the process, provides opportunities for learners to take personal responsibility for their learning and behaviour. The course begins by focusing on relevant classroom management theories that inform teaching practice. It investigates teachers' effective relational skills and explores the significance of interrelationships with adolescences and young adults within the school community. The course also establishes the need for positive learning environments and proactive teaching in order to promote learners' self- regulation and wellbeing. Attention is directed to the key elements of behaviour management: clear expectations, timely acknowledgement and appropriate correction. The course provides practical approaches for coping with challenging behaviours and fostering adapted behaviours that are socially acceptable within the learning and teaching context. Pre-service teachers will gain a clear understanding of the significance of the function of school behaviour plans for informing effective classroom practice.
