Addressing a central challenge for many teachers, this online story package explores best practices and developments in classroom management. The package includes an in-depth interview with Harry and Rosemary Wong, stories on social-emotional learning and managing tech-infused classrooms, and analyses from premier instructional coaches. It is designed to provide teachers with ideas that spur discussion and self-reflection.
Students at Howard University Middle School of Mathematics and Science in the District of Columbia put laptops away after class. Teachers are finding that technology-infused classrooms require a new layer of management techniques and procedures.
