Episode 1
In this episode, the hosts discuss a qualitative study of teachers' perceptions of classroom management in the middle grades, including common themes around what strategies work and differences in perceptions between general and special education teachers.
Always a hot topic, classroom management is often cited by teachers as a reason why they leave the profession. It’s a problem exacerbated by lingering post-pandemic student social and emotional needs and behavior challenges. The hosts explore what is, and isn’t, within the power of teachers to control and how understanding the developmental characteristics of this age group can help.
