Behaviour Management Workshop
Wednesday, November 25
16:30, Brown, Music Library (room A510 - Fifth floor)
Classroom management is one of the most difficult things to grasp as a new teacher.
Jennifer Hayden is an elementary music teacher at Verdun Elementary, an inner city school here in Montreal.
As a former student of the McGill education program, Ms. Hayden understands where the program is lacking and how to supplement this.
The workshop will be comprised of a short lecture followed by a series of real life case studies that she encountered upon entering the professional world.
It is an honour to have her back at McGill as she holds wisdom that cannot be learned from a text, but rather only from real life experience -
please come and benefit from all the great advice, anecdotes, and knowledge Ms. Hayden has to offer!
