01
Time
Low-level discipline problems are where instruction time goes.
Program one
What would ten more hours on task each week do for achievement?
One day of practical, research-based strategies that teachers start using in their next class period.
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
How the system fits together
The five components below are taught in order, modeled by your trainer, and practiced by every teacher.
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
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
Room design is part of classroom management. With the right arrangement, the room supports instruction and many discipline issues never come up.
Component Five
Student-teacher relationships
The hardest students are usually the ones who most need a connection. This component shows teachers how to build it and how to bring non-compliant students into the work of the class.
Agenda
Sample schedule
Most schools book a full day. A half-day works too, on your campus and on 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.
