Leveled Consequences

Charter schools are always looking to hire new teacher, but often lack self-paced teacher training tools for individuals that are new to teaching. This leads to increased turnover rates among new teachers and more disruptions to the scope and sequence of academic learning for students when teachers leave before the end of the school year.

I identified the need for this training after speaking with fellow teachers across my organization. The organization had only provided classroom management training at the beginning of the academic year and shifted its professional development sessions to lesson planning and data analysis. Recent hires who were new to teaching needed self-paced learning experiences that could help them practice and develop their classroom management skills outside of professional development meetings led by the organization.

This course allows new teachers to practice on their own as frequently as they like without having to wait for regularly scheduled Professional development meetings to practice and develop their classroom management skills.

The leveled consequences were inspired by Grace Dearborn's teachings of compassion-based strategies for classroom management.

For this project, I worked with subject matter experts. My own experiences and adventures in developing classroom management skills inspired the scenarios in this course. I used Figma for action mapping, Articulate Storyline for the creation of scenario-based learning, and Adobe Illustrator for vector designs.

I used Figma to create an action map of the project after compiling information from discussions with SME's and reflecting on my own experiences developing classroom management skills.
