Component One
Self-control strategies
What does prevention look like? A teacher who notices a challenge before it escalates and defuses it calmly. Done consistently, that eliminates up to 90% of low-level disruptions.
Program one
A complete classroom management system in one training day
Teachers learn and practice each strategy during the day, so the system is ready for their very next class.
Why this training
Why schools book this training
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.
Research
"Teachers' actions in their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as school policies regarding curriculum, assessment, staff collegiality, and community involvement."
Marzano, R. J. (2003). What Works in Schools. ASCD.
The five components
What the day covers
Five strategies make up a complete management system. Each is taught, modeled, and practiced.
1. Self-Control
2. Rules & Procedures
3. Responding to Challenges
4. Ecology & Arrangement
5. Relationships
Component Two
Teaching rules and procedures
Teachers set up the first week of school for the whole year. Expectations get a lesson plan, modeling, and repeated practice, and office referrals go down.
Component Three
Responding to challenges
Teachers learn five immediate steps for an out-of-control student and how to carry out discipline firmly but fairly. Multiple warnings and repeated requests go away.
Component Four
Classroom ecology and arrangement
Teachers learn to arrange the classroom for the lesson at hand. The training covers fifteen layouts, traditional and unorthodox, and teacher positioning.
Component Five
Student-teacher relationships
Relationships can be taught and practiced. Teachers leave with ways to make every student feel seen and to earn the trust of students who resist.
Agenda
The day, hour by hour
The format is flexible: half-day or full-day, in person on your campus, scheduled around your calendar.
In the first block, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, your trainer covers mindset, classroom design, the teaching power position, fifteen desk arrangements, and rules and procedures.
The second block starts at 1:00 PM, after lunch, and ends at 3:30 PM. Its topics are firm and fair discipline, relationships, non-compliant students, the five steps to regain control, and ending repeated warnings and requests.
