The material addresses the key issues and challenges facing teachers in today's classrooms and offers practical advice and instructional strategies that immediately improve classroom management.

Whether used for individual study or with a group, Ventures Professional Development Seminar on Classroom Management provides in-depth agendas, exercises, reflective questions, readings, and external information resources to make learning engaging and meaningful.

The Ventures Classroom Management Seminar provides a rich and rewarding professional development opportunity for either individual teachers, or a group of educators working together.
