01
Lost instructional time
Low-level discipline takes instruction time every day. A teacher can know the content well, and without classroom control the lesson still does not get delivered.
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
Every campus is fighting the same four problems
If your building feels any of these, this training was built for it.
02
Discipline incidents
Achievement goes up after discipline is handled. The training gives teachers a system to improve behavior, and they use it immediately.
03
Job satisfaction
The strategies reduce or eliminate 70 to 90% of low-level, chronic behaviors. Teachers feel less stress and more effective.
04
Retention
Classroom management, or the lack of it, is the number one reason educators leave the profession. It is a teachable skill.
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 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
Clear procedures, taught on purpose, reduce office referrals. Teachers learn to plan and practice routines the same way they plan academic lessons.
Component Three
Responding to challenges
Five seconds is the target. With the diffuser system and a supportive stance, teachers end most confrontations in that time without raising their voices.
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
Teachers learn to reach the students who test every limit. Trust comes first, and students who trust their teacher become contributors instead of distractions.
Agenda
A typical training day
In person on your campus, as a full day or a half-day, whenever your calendar allows.
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.
