As educators we learn theories and philosophies about classroom management but seldom learn practical methods for effective management. Classroom management involves a positive classroom environment, appropriate standards of behavior for students, student engagement, and effective management of routines and transitions. Establishing daily routines early in the school year is essential to effective classroom management. This workshop is intended to give teachers a practical guide to classroom management.

Recognizing the reasons for students who experience challenges in reading may be somewhat disconcerting without sufficient understanding. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of dyslexia that includes brain research, screening/diagnostics for dyslexia, Mississippi Dyslexia Law, and treatment. Comorbid disabilities that are commonly seen in individuals with dyslexia will be explained, as well as the roles of the parent, classroom teacher, and administrator. Applied learning assignments will reinforce the information to promote better understanding of this common learning disability that affects reading.

All teachers want to see their students be successful throughout the year and on year-end assessments. In their success, we can celebrate that learning has occurred, which is the ultimate goal in education! The primary focus when it comes to the year-end assessment of our students in Mississippi is the Mississippi Assessment Program (MAP). In this workshop, participants will learn to access, understand, and interpret available MAP English and Language Arts resources. Instruction and resources will be provided to help participants be able to better prepare their students for answering closed-ended, open-ended, and performance task items by developing, adjusting, and evaluating lessons, units, and assessments to be comparable to MAP testing. Finally, participants will be given instruction on how to locate and synthesize various text forms and genres, and be provided with multiple suggestions for differentiating instruction in the ELA classroom.

As of February 2007, Mississippi passed a new Healthy Students Act that describes eight components of overall wellness that our students need in order to increase healthy days at school and better academic performance. This piece of legislation is significant because its mission is to decrease obesity, emotional distress and lost years of life in our youth by requiring more physical activity, increased social support and healthier food choices in schools each day. This act also encourages staff wellness, which is important for teaching our teachers and administrators how to model healthy behaviors each day in front of Mississippi's young people. Statistics show that this generation of Mississippi children will be the first generation that will not outlive their parents--unless something is done to prevent this disparity.
This six-week online course is designed to equip teachers and physical education instructors with the skills and knowledge necessary to implement some components of the wellness policy in the classroom or any school setting. In this course participants will engage in a variety of activities and readings that focus on food choices, weight management, stress management, healthy relationships, and disease prevention that will increase awareness and promote positive behavior changes in the classroom.
