01
Time
Low-level discipline problems are where instruction time goes.
Program one
A complete classroom management system in one training day
Teachers learn and practice each strategy during the day, so the system is ready for their very next class.
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 five components
Teachers see every strategy modeled, then practice it before the day ends.
1. Self-Control
2. Rules & Procedures
3. Responding to Challenges
4. Ecology & Arrangement
5. Relationships
Component One
Self-control strategies
Up to 90% of low-level problems can be stopped before they interrupt a lesson. This component teaches the calm, the teaching power position, and the diffuser system that make that possible.
Component Two
Teaching rules and procedures
Successful teachers do not post rules and hope. They teach expectations with a lesson-plan format and practice them until they stick, which cuts office referrals and builds buy-in from staff, students, and parents.
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
Where students sit and where the teacher stands both shape behavior. This component turns that into fifteen practical desk arrangements.
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.
From 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, teachers work on a calm, alert mindset, the design and arrangement of the classroom, the teaching power position, fifteen desk arrangements, and how to teach and enforce rules and procedures.
Lunch is 12:00 to 1:00 PM. The afternoon, 1:00 to 3:30 PM, covers firm but fair discipline, student-teacher relationships, connecting with non-compliant students, five immediate steps to regain control, and ending multiple warnings and repeated requests.
