Support in the Classroom


Counselors are often asked for help with classroom management and student support, or they just want more direction.  Here's a mix of information.

Picture
Rob Plevin has practical, step by step directions for gaining control of a class so you can teach. He often shares tips and articles, this time he's shared six videos. Required viewing for teachers just starting out, great refresher for those established in the profession.

The first in the series is on the right. 3 videos on taking control of a noisy class; others on consequences & attention grabbers. 
Click the link below to watch all six.
Videos 6 to 20 minutes in length.
