01
Where the time goes
Low-level disruption, repeated all day. Without classroom control, good lessons stay undelivered.
Program one
Five strategies teachers use from the next class period on
A full day on site. The strategies are research based and built for use the next morning.
Why this training
Is discipline taking your instruction time?
02
What the system does
Teachers reduce or eliminate 70 to 90% of low-level, chronic behaviors and get back to teaching.
03
Why it matters for staffing
Classroom management is the number one reason educators leave. Teaching it lowers stress and keeps people in the profession.
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
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
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
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
When students feel valued, they engage with the teacher and the subject. Teachers practice building that trust, class period by class period.
Agenda
A typical training day
In person on your campus, as a full day or a half-day, whenever your calendar allows.
Teachers start at 8:30 AM with the classroom itself: a calm mindset, room design, the teaching power position, and fifteen desk arrangements. Rules and procedures close the morning at 12:00 PM.
Lunch runs from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. Between 1:00 and 3:30 PM, teachers learn to carry out discipline firmly but fairly, build relationships, connect with non-compliant students, regain control in five steps, and stop giving repeated warnings.
