Improving Classroom Climate and Engagement at the Secondary Special Education Level through the Implementation of Classroom Management Strategies

A lack of professional development, the complexity of interventions, and limited data to reflect upon have implemented successful classroom management strategies challenging for special educators. These barriers negatively impact classroom climate and achievement in special education rooms. Educators should receive support to execute classroom management strategies confidently to decrease problem behavior and increase student engagement. Best practice classroom management strategies should be narrowed down to hone in on interventions and simplify the complexity of the delivery. Data collection will play an integral role in the reflection process and provide insight into how classroom management can be examined at the high school level.https://digitalcommons.misericordia.edu/research_posters2022/1049/thumbnail.jp
