Classroom Management: The Foundation for Learning
About
Registration is now closed.
Classroom management isn't separate from teaching. It is teaching's essential foundation.
Classroom management has more influence on student achievement than almost anything else a teacher does – yet most teachers were never explicitly taught how to do it. This three-part program is designed for classroom educators at every career stage who want to change that.
Work with Tim McDonald to explore the CORE Framework – Calm, Orderly, Respectful Environments – a systematic, evidence-informed approach to teaching behaviour. Together, you will unpack the why, what and how of creating classrooms where learning becomes possible for every student, including evidence-based routines and norms, specific teacher techniques, and whole-school implementation strategies. You will leave with an action plan for your unique context.

Learning Outcomes
Following this program, you will:
be able to articulate why classroom behaviour requires explicit instruction, using contemporary cognitive science principles to explain this to colleagues
understand the principles for establishing effective classroom rules, including how these rules formalise a values-driven culture, the importance of explicit teaching from day one, and the criteria for well-designed rules
identify and respond to disruptive and disengaged student behaviours using the least intrusive intervention principle, by selecting the appropriate level of the behaviour response hierarchy for common classroom scenarios.
