Innovative Approaches for Effective Classroom Management

Name: Innovative Approaches for Effective Classroom Management
Price: 400 EUR

Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Overview

Two minutes a day, for ten days, talking to a disruptive student about anything except school — sports, a video game, a weekend plan. It sounds too small to matter. Teachers who’ve actually tried the “2×10” technique report the opposite: a handful of two-minute conversations shift what usually looks like a discipline problem into something closer to a starved relationship.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is the wider framework 2×10 sits inside — a whole-school approach that treats behaviour as something to teach explicitly rather than punish reactively, built on clear expectations, consistent reinforcement and tiered support for students who need more. The evidence behind 2×10 itself is smaller-scale and mostly qualitative — teacher-preparation studies report stronger relationships and calmer classrooms rather than large randomised trials — which is honestly closer to how most classroom-management techniques actually get tested.

Participants work through PBIS principles and restorative circles, then practise 2×10 directly — identifying which students in their own classroom would benefit most, and building the actual ten-day conversation plan rather than just discussing the theory. Digital classroom-management tools, including ClassDojo, get folded in alongside the relational work, not as a replacement for it.

What a participant carries back is aimed at one specific student already in mind — not a general classroom-management philosophy, but a ten-day conversation schedule that starts the week they return.

Methodology

Practical Tools, Not Just Theory

Positive behaviour interventions, restorative practices and student-centred techniques are taught through practical tips and tools you can use immediately.

Realistic Classroom Scenarios

Sample classroom scenarios and role-play stand in for lectures, so you practise responding to real disruptive-behaviour situations.

Collaborative Learning Focus

Group and collaborative learning techniques help you build a more positive, engaged classroom.

What you'll take home

Recognise core techniques from three major classroom-management approaches — positive behavioural interventions and supports (PBIS), restorative practices, and social-emotional learning — and begin applying them in your own classroom. Use practical, tested strategies to prevent and manage disruptive behaviour in your classroom. Apply collaborative learning techniques and relationship-building strategies, such as the "2x10" method, to increase student engagement. Design a classroom action plan that creates a more active, positive and supportive learning environment.

Issuing course participation certificates

Please note: sessions run from 09:30 to 15:00, Monday to Friday, with a break for lunch. Timings can shift a little to suit the venue and the group. If you'd like a specific topic covered, let us know when you apply — the confirmed day-by-day schedule is sent to registered participants ahead of the course.

Certificate: we issue the Certificate of Attendance to everyone who's present for at least 80% of the course — tracked with the daily sign-in sheet (see Certificate & assessment).

Equipment: a few of our courses ask participants to bring a laptop — check the day-by-day programme above, or ask us if you're not sure.

Need a formal invoice or proforma for your school's records? Ask us — we issue official invoices with the participant's name and course details.

Materials & tools

Classroom behaviour-tracking and communication tool used in the course: ClassDojo.

Certificate & assessment

This is a Certificate of Attendance, not an exam-based qualification — recognition comes from completing the structured programme, not from passing a test. The real, lasting value is in the competencies listed above under What you'll take home.

Erasmus Mobility Academy

Certificate of Attendance

Innovative Approaches for Effective Classroom Management · 5 days · 25 hrs

+ Europass Mobility document

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Need to verify a real certificate? Check it online using the serial number and participant's full name, or contact us directly — [email protected], OID E10304561.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

For your school / proposal

School impact

After completing this Teacher Training & Classroom Management course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's European Development Plan. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.

After the course

Participants will receive their certificates (Certificate of Attendance + Europass).

Participants will complete a general course evaluation and event survey.

Participants will receive course materials, videos, photos, and PDF documents in both digital and print formats.

Follow-up support: an email group is created for idea exchange, self-evaluation materials are provided, and participants receive a follow-up check-in after 3 months to discuss progress on applying innovative classroom management strategies in their schools.

Frequently asked

This course is an eligible training activity under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (School Education Mobility) — the course fee, travel and subsistence fall within the eligible cost categories. Whether it is covered depends on your own project's approved grant agreement and your National Agency's rules; we provide all the invoices, attendance records and certificates your National Agency requires for reporting.

B1 is enough — you do not need to be fluent. Trainers speak slowly and plainly, every session is built around doing something rather than sitting and listening, and groups are mixed by nationality so people help each other out. A rough test: if you could follow a staff meeting held in English and ask a question in it, you will be fine here.

Absolutely — group bookings of 3+ from one school receive priority placement, and we can schedule a dedicated session for groups of 12 or more.

Our courses run on request at our centres in Antalya, İstanbul, İzmir, Mersin, Budapest, Bremen and Rome. Tell us your preferred city and dates and we will arrange a session.

Tuition, all course materials, both certificates (attendance + Europass Mobility) and a half-day guided tour of the host city with a local guide. Flights, accommodation and travel insurance are booked separately — we send a vetted hotel list.

You can move to any later session free of charge. Cancellations made 30+ days before the start date receive a full refund; a reduced refund applies closer to the date — see our full Cancellation & Refund Policy for the exact schedule.
