01
Time
Low-level discipline problems are where instruction time goes.
Program one
Classroom management training for your whole staff, in one day
The training is a full day on your campus, and teachers leave with a complete system they can use right away.
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
Five strategies in one day
Each one is taught, modeled, and practiced, and teachers leave with a playbook they can use.
1. Self-Control
2. Rules & Procedures
3. Responding to Challenges
4. Ecology & Arrangement
5. Relationships
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.
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
When a student pushes back, what should the teacher do first? This component answers that with five immediate steps, contingent withdrawal of attention, and firm, fair follow-through.
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
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
What the day looks like
Full-day or half-day, delivered in person at your school and 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.
