The Win-Win Classroom

A Fresh and Positive Look at Classroom Management

Presentation by Jane Bluestein, Ph.D.

When it comes to student behavior challenges in the classroom, conventional practices and punitive discipline codes often fail to motivate students to change their attitudes or behavior. Old win-lose patterns (whether authoritarian or permissive) often do little more than add fuel to the fire.

Here, finally, is a nontraditional approach to successfully preventing discipline problems, building student accountability, and ending frustrating power struggles with kids of all ages.

We'll look at practical, powerful, and effective strategies to help you establish win-win authority relationships while defusing conflict and opposition; set and maintain positive, win-win boundaries; build a positive, caring, emotionally safe classroom climate; eliminate defiance, dependence and disinterest; build relationships with parents; reduce stress and burnout, and make your work more enjoyable.

We’ll also examine strategies that will minimize problems associated with poor academic performance, non-traditional learning styles, and social and emotional issues.

The Win-Win Classroom will change the way you interact with students and help you build a positive social culture within your school and classroom.
