Teachers Training

Learning for teachers is an ongoing process that helps them enhance their ability to instruct pupils, acquire new knowledge, and gain new abilities. Prior research has shown that when teachers are good classroom managers, their pupils perform better and show a greater interest in the subject matter.

Classroom management is critical to teachers’ professional development and education, as it is essential to maintain instructors’ knowledge current so they can provide high-quality instruction (e.g., Emmer and Sabornie 2015; Pianta 1999). Interestingly, despite teachers being experts in both teaching and learning, little is known about how instructors really educate.
