A full day on site. The strategies are research based and built for use the next morning.
Academics and discipline cannot be separated. Low-level behavior takes instruction time all day, and even the strongest content teacher cannot deliver a lesson in a room that is out of control.
The strategies in this training reduce or eliminate 70 to 90% of low-level, chronic behaviors. Teachers get time back and feel more effective, and that matters for retention: classroom management is the number one reason educators leave.
"Teachers' actions in their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as school policies regarding curriculum, assessment, staff collegiality, and community involvement."
Each one is taught, modeled, and practiced, and teachers leave with a playbook they can use.
Prevention is the strongest tool a teacher has. Teachers learn to stay calm, read the room, and spot trouble early, which heads off up to 90% of low-level problems before they interrupt instruction. The day starts here because the rest depends on it.
Routines are taught like academics. This component gives teachers a lesson-plan format for expectations and a plan for the first week of school.
Teachers learn to ask once, defuse a challenge in five seconds or less, and follow through, with no second or third warning.
Room design is part of classroom management. With the right arrangement, the room supports instruction and many discipline issues never come up.
When students feel valued, they engage with the teacher and the subject. Teachers practice building that trust, class period by class period.
