    Course Description

    Do you want to create a classroom environment in which all students can learn and student’s attitudes and behaviors support, not sabotage, your teaching? Would you love to have school administrators, members of the your school community, and students’ families support your classroom management efforts? If so, then you’ll love this online course on classroom management, using restorative justice practices. Restorative justice in education – in which traditional approaches to discipline are replaced with “mediation” that’s focused on repairing, not exacerbating rifts – might seem like an unattainable ideal. But restorative justice, when applied correctly, can be far more than just a “buzz word” or a substitute for warnings, punishments, and suspensions. In this online professional development course, you’ll learn about effective classroom management, including:
    • your role in ensuring fairness and equity in your classroom
    • preemptive practices for classroom management
    • optimal decision-making in responding to problematic student behavior
    • ways to ensure affirmation of all students, while repairing relationship rifts
    • tips for engaging students in the classroom
    • strategies for addressing student disengagement
    • ideas for group work that can aid in classroom management
    • recommendations for how to work with administrators and students’ families
    Learning Outcomes In this online professional development course, you’ll learn effective classroom management, using restorative justice practices that help ensure positive behavior and promote fairness and equity.

    This 3-credit course will allow you to learn the secret to extinguish and escape one of the most deadliest chronic illnesses in the workplace - BURNOUT.

    Click Here to View Syllabus LAUSD Course Code: NA-09-20 UMass Global Course Code: EDDU 9087 When reading article after article in news outlets across the United States, teachers are not only exhausted, but many are leaving the teaching profession altogether. This course is amazing in that it is a one of a kind class that focuses just on K-12 Teachers who are feeling the burnout during the Covid19/Omicron Pandemic and beyond. Although there are a number of professions (such as tuna fishing, air traffic control, oil drilling, lumber hauling, etc) that exhaust workers, there is no profession like the teaching profession where one must know how to be both an educator, a counselor, a shoulder to cry on, a pandemic prevention specialist, and a education professional - all at the same time. Add to this the experience of a pandemic with having kids at home and one's own health to deal with, you find yourself with a recipe for disaster. This course explains how the solution to teacher burnout is very similar to the solution that fighter pilots must acquire when they are experiencing a G-force on their chest. Take this class and preserve your profession. Number of Professional Development Credits Teachers throughout California and the U.S. can earn 3 professional development credits by completing this online course or 3 graduate-level university credits for an additional cost.

    Teacher comment: "This class has the power to deliver an educator from toxic stress and ensure that a person's teaching career is not only successful but happy and invigorating! The research outlined in this class on the social brain - is revolutionary! In addition, if teaching in a classroom can be likened to driving a car full of kids, then I feel I've been driving my car without a 4th wheel. This class gave me the 4th wheel I needed (which is the understanding of how to build healthy relationships in and outside of the classroom) to make my teaching experience a smooth ride. Why wasn't this course offered to me before? This course is outstanding and I finally feel I have the missing piece to a successful teaching career! Thank you Education4Equity for creating an online course that revived my teaching passion." (5 Stars) DISCLAIMER: This class has been approved by the Houston Independent School District.
