The Win-Win Classroom: A Fresh and Positive Look Towards Providing Opportunities for Differently-Abled Students

Dr. Jane Bluestein, an internationally known speaker and author, facilitated a full-day workshop for educators and school leaders who support differently- abled students, such as those with disabilities. 

Through examples and participation, Dr Bluestein guided participants through a fresh look at classroom management and suggested tools and strategies to implement in their schools and classrooms.

Some of the topics covered include:

• Establish win-win authority relationships with students to reduce power-struggles, opposition, and indifference without using threats or punishments.

• Examine traditional approaches to discipline and classroom management that often create more problems than they solve, as well as more effective alternatives.

• Develop simple, practical, and positive strategies for motivating student cooperation, commitment, and accountability.
