July 27 2009 - Helping Teachers Grow Launches Online Classroom Management Seminar

With teachers across the country struggling to manage the disruptive behaviors of today's students, Darren Barkett of Helping Teachers Grow is launching his online classroom management training on July 27, 2009. This six-week seminar will help any educator at any level grow into an effective and powerful teacher through the simple implementation of a solid classroom management system.

Participants can register now through the classroom management website of HelpingTeachersGrow.com.

The training, which takes place entirely online, will cover everything necessary for educators to become solid managers of student behaviors in their own classrooms. From identifying disruptive behaviors to stopping those behaviors before they become problems to the creation of their own classroom management system and interacting positively with parents, the seminar will provide the training, knowledge and support teachers need as they implement these behavior management tools.

Darren Barkett, president and founder of Helping Teachers Grow, stated, "When I first started teaching, I was so excited to help students learn how to read and write. What I quickly found out was that I had no idea how to manage the day-to-day behaviors of the students that were preventing us from learning. I realized I either needed to learn how to manage student behavior or find another career. Luckily, learning how to work with students in a respectful and effective way was much simpler than I'd originally thought."

Barkett has used his training program to help hundreds of teachers across the country troubleshoot their own student behavior issues through a series of online class management videos and publications. This latest intensive training will be targeted at new teachers who are excited to teach but might not fully understand what's involved in becoming a teacher as well as towards those teachers already teaching but not feeling as effective and productive in the classroom.

The class management training will run for six weeks from July 27 until September 4, 2009. It will consist of weekly teleconferences with Barkett, assigned readings from Barkett's class management novel Take Back That Class, weekly videos on different aspects of class management, participation in the support forums at Helping Teachers Grow, and a private coaching call with Barkett. Cost is $199 per person, and group discounts are available through the website for participating school districts.
