Course Summary
Teachers and other important personnel must understand how to efficiently manage their students in a classroom setting to guarantee their safety and an engaging learning environment. Poor classroom management often leads students to fall behind their peers and fail to meet expectations.
Classroom management encompasses everything that transpires within the classroom, from the topics being taught to the communication method and the learning activities provided to the students. Regardless of age, students will struggle to engage with the topics and focus on their learning if the teachers or teaching assistants do not provide adequate care.
Communication is a vital aspect of any classroom, and a teacher must be able to communicate with the students in different ways, using varying language and tone of voice to encourage a particular outcome. They must also understand how to meet students on their level and create a positive relationship built upon trust and appropriate attention.
Furthermore, a classroom leader must also be competent in SEN education and how to meet best the needs of disabled students or those who need extra support with their learning. Those with SEN will often require additional 1-to-1 care, specialised equipment, and other accommodations to ensure they can progress alongside their non-SEN peers.

- Understand the importance of effective classroom management within an educational facility.
