01
Time
Low-level discipline problems are where instruction time goes.
Program one
Give your teachers one shared plan for behavior
Research-based strategies, taught and practiced in one day, ready for the next class period.
Why this training
Four reasons to start with classroom management
02
Achievement
Discipline comes first. Without control, even the best lessons stay undelivered.
03
Stress
These strategies reduce or eliminate 70 to 90% of chronic, low-level behaviors.
04
Turnover
Classroom management is the number one reason educators leave the profession, and the fix can be taught.
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
One day, five components
The training models each strategy and gives teachers time to practice it.
1. Self-Control
2. Rules & Procedures
3. Responding to Challenges
4. Ecology & Arrangement
5. Relationships
Component One
Self-control strategies
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.
Component Two
Teaching rules and procedures
Why do some classrooms run smoothly by October? The teacher taught the procedures, modeled them, and had students practice them, starting on day one.
Component Three
Responding to challenges
Teachers learn to ask once, defuse a challenge in five seconds or less, and follow through, with no second or third warning.
Component Four
Classroom ecology and arrangement
Can moving desks reduce discipline problems? Often, yes. Teachers see fifteen arrangements and learn to position themselves so the room works for them.
Component Five
Student-teacher relationships
The hardest students are usually the ones who most need a connection. This component shows teachers how to build it and how to bring non-compliant students into the work of the class.
Agenda
How the day runs
Here is a typical full day. Half-day versions are available, and dates are set around your calendar.
The morning block (8:30 AM to 12:00 PM) starts with mindset and the room: staying calm, designing the classroom environment, the teaching power position, and fifteen desk arrangements. It ends with teaching and enforcing rules and procedures.
After lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 PM, the afternoon block runs until 3:30 PM. It turns to discipline and relationships, including how to reach non-compliant students, the five immediate steps to regain control, and how to stop repeating requests and warnings.
