Garwood, who grew up in Saranac Lake and moved back with his family last year, recently saw the publication of a book he wrote about classroom management. “Reclaim Your Challenging Classroom” is intended to guide new and veteran teachers in developing effective classroom management techniques, with a particular focus on students with emotional or behavioral disorders and those experiencing trauma. This guide empowers teachers to create a positive and engaging learning environment that is grounded in the student-teacher relationship. Garwood is a professor of special education at the University of Vermont, where he teaches courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels focused on behavior management, academic intervention and inclusion. He completed his doctorate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and for two years prior to coming to UVM was an assistant professor at Appalachian State University. H
