We know a happy classroom is an essential key to not only a positive school culture and less teacher burnout, but also to increased student engagement and student success.
This course will offer ideas on how to avoid teacher burnout and create strong, positive habits that will impact not only your classroom, but your personal life as well. Creating small daily habits lead to larger life consequences. By learning about your own positive and negative habits, you can start to refocus your habits to ensure your success as a teacher and also help create the same habits in your students.
In this course you will:
- Demonstrate how to create a learning climate that builds confidence for students and teachers
- Assess current habits in both the classroom setting and personal setting
- Use research-based, hands-on techniques from experienced teachers and educational professionals who have actually used them – with great results!
- Be exposed to quick and easy strategies to foster positive habits for teachers and students.
- Identify factors that may inhibit the development of strong habits in the classroom
- Understand how mindset impacts classroom environment
- Utilize practical ways to help overcome stress and keep a positive mindset
- Rediscover the passion and excitement that made you want to become a teacher

This class, with its mix of books and videos, was engaging and effective. It helped me build a classroom culture focused on being kind, giving more, and staying humble with practical strategies like daily bell ringers and modeling humility. It was especially helpful in encouraging self-care, allowing me to establish healthy habits over the summer before the school year begins. Overall, it gave me a clear, heart-centered plan to support my students and myself as a teacher. Larissa S., MN.

As a teacher, I highly recommend taking any class through Be a Great Teacher. Creating Classroom Habits was relevant and informative. I learned many new and different strategies that I will be able to implement in my classroom. I am glad to have taken the course as I learned a lot and it was a good refresher for a teacher who has not taken any classes for a while. I am excited to use what I learned in the upcoming school year. Thank you! Kyle T., MN

I thought this was a great course for a teacher at any stage of his or her teaching career. It helped me learn about the importance of being both a great role model and a positive in my students’ lives but also being present when I am home with my family. That balance is important. I think this course would be especially good for those just starting out. Michelle S., OH.
