I am a student teacher, and today was my first day on the job. I couldn't think of a more valuable thing to learn at the beginning of a stressful time in my own education. Thank you.
What teachers say after the training
These are real reactions from teachers, coaches, and district leaders, shortened only for length.
I was going to retire this year. Tired of all the nonsense, tired of students who don't pay attention. This seminar has given me great ideas to put into my classroom. I think I'll be around a few more years. Thank you.
This was the best logical presentation on discipline I've had in twenty-three years of teaching. I have practical ideas I can use immediately.
I had previously worked with my teachers to implement engagement strategies, but they had to go back, put things together, and come up with their own approaches. This program is different. When the teacher leaves the training, they're able to implement these strategies in their classrooms the next day.
The classroom management seminar was one of the most immediately useful workshops I've ever taken. Even after twenty years in the classroom.
My students are now engaged in ways I couldn't have imagined six months ago. The storytelling and randomization techniques alone changed my entire approach to lesson planning.
After thirty years in the profession, I thought I'd seen every classroom management PD. This was different. Real strategies, real respect for the work we do, and real results in my room within a week.
