This workshop is designed to help you with rule-breaking behaviors that challenge you in your classroom. Throughout the day, the facilitator will ask you to identify real situations from your own experience, both with individual students and whole class, and lead you through exercises to help you diagnosis the problem and develop strategies that will help students follow the rules.
All Origins workshops are highly interactive, providing many opportunities for you to talk with other educators and ask your most compelling questions to workshop facilitators. You will be seated in a circle during presentations
