Management
This online classroom management program was designed to supplement
Classroom Management: A California Resource Guide, which was
published in 2000. This program is designed to assist elementary
teachers address behavior problems in an effective manner. The
classroom strategies presented in this program were selected from among
those that have empirical evidence of effectiveness. The purpose of
this condensed program is to describe student management programs that
work effectively to prevent the future occurrence of antisocial behavior and
resolve minor behavioral problems in the classroom. Emphasis is on teaching
students how to behave rather than how not to behave, in order to develop
a positive classroom environment conducive to learning. Currently
there are four modules available. This training was developed by Bill
Ybarra.

Goals and Objectives That Reach!
This self-paced Web module and referenced approach will assist the learner in understanding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended in 2004, and the components of a performance goal and how this format applies to the mandates of the IDEA.

Significant changes in IDEA 2004 are included in this Web module: an expanded educational benefit process; assessment guidelines; the 13 disability categories; and the five compliance requirements academic achievement.
