01
Time
Low-level discipline problems are where instruction time goes.
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
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
The playbook
Five strategies, each taught, modeled, and practiced during the training.
1. Self-Control
2. Rules & Procedures
3. Responding to Challenges
4. Ecology & Arrangement
5. Relationships
Component One
Self-control strategies
Everything else in the training builds on self-control. Teachers learn to read the room, stay calm, and catch disruptions early, preventing up to 90% of low-level problems.
Component Two
Teaching rules and procedures
Routines are taught like academics. This component gives teachers a lesson-plan format for expectations and a plan for the first week of school.
Component Three
Responding to challenges
This is the part teachers ask about most: what to do in the moment. The diffuser system, a supportive stance, and five immediate steps for an out-of-control student give them a plan.
Component Four
Classroom ecology and arrangement
Fifteen desk arrangements, and when to use each one. Teachers also learn where to stand so challenges are less likely to start.
Component Five
Student-teacher relationships
Room design matters, and relationships matter more. Teachers practice making each student feel individually seen, including the most challenging ones.
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.
