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.
Program one
Give your teachers one shared plan for behavior
Research-based strategies, taught and practiced in one day, ready for the next class period.
Why this training
Discipline and academics are the same problem
When low-level behavior fills the day, instruction time disappears and the best lesson plans go undelivered. A campus that wants higher achievement has to give teachers a working system for discipline first.
This training does that. Its strategies reduce or eliminate 70 to 90% of low-level, chronic behaviors, which lowers stress for teachers. Classroom management is the number one reason educators leave the profession, so it is also a retention plan.
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 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
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
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.
