Classroom Management: Strategies for Building an Effective Classroom Ecology and Strengthening Student Connections

This webinar is free and open to the public. 

“The most effective classrooms are not born from rules, but from relationships and design—when students feel seen and the space works for them, learning comes alive.” - Rick Dahlgren

A successful school year isn’t just about what you teach, it’s about how you shape the environment in which learning happens. In this webinar, educators will learn how to build classroom ecosystems that promote focus, foster student relationships, and minimize behavior disruptions from day one. Explore proven strategies for designing classroom spaces that balance academic rigor with behavioral clarity and for building strong student-teacher connections that serve as the foundation for every successful lesson.
From maximizing the physical layout, to reading your room and leading with calm authority, this webinar offers a fresh start for educators ready to create environments where both teaching and learning thrive.

In this webinar you will:

• Learn how classroom layout, seating, and environment influence behavior and engagement, and discover how to optimize these elements for both learning outcomes and classroom control
• Gain tools for building strong student-teacher relationships based on trust, understanding, and consistency that are replicable across all classrooms
• Explore how to manage your presence with calm confidence, reading the room, correcting issues without disrupting instruction, and preventing escalation before it starts
• Identify strategies to eliminate repeated warnings, prevent time-wasting disruptions, and carry out fair discipline with authority and poise
