Why schools call

Three things principals tell us

01

Disruption

Every campus loses teaching minutes to low-level behavior, and lost minutes mean lower achievement.

02

Discipline load

Schools that adopt one management system can see discipline problems drop by seventy percent.

03

Retention

Teachers who leave name classroom management first. The strategies start working in their next class period.

This was the best logical presentation on discipline I have had in twenty-three years of teaching. I have practical ideas I can use immediately.

The classroom management seminar was one of the most immediately useful workshops I've ever taken. Even after twenty years in the classroom.

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.

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.

The result

A shared playbook

Teachers practice each technique during the day. By the next class period they are using them.

A research synthesis of over 100 studies found that teachers' actions in their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as school policies about curriculum, assessment, or community involvement. Marzano, R. J. (2003). What Works in Schools. ASCD.
