Joyous Classroom Management (No, Really)

In "Joyous Classroom Management", Jeff Swanson focuses on creating a joyful, effective classroom through a balance of clear rules and strong relationships. He shares practical strategies like a no-talking rule, structured routines, and engaging activities (e.g., Rubik’s cubes, reading) to minimize disruptions and foster learning. Jeff emphasizes building trust with students through affirmation and involvement while maintaining consistent discipline, such as recess detention for rule-breaking. His approach aims to create a secure, fun environment where students thrive academically and personally.

"Joyous Classroom Management (No, Really)" was presented by Jeff Swanson at Teachers Week 2015, held at Faith Builders Educational Programs.
