1. Taming the Middle Schooler: Classroom Management Strategies That Work.
Eliminate Repeated Warnings and Multiple Requests
Increase Academics - Decrease Discipline Challenges
Empower Teachers With Discipline Strategies That Provide a “win-win” For Everyone Involved
Educators on average are losing 5-9 hours a week on lower-level discipline challenges. These disruptions are stealing valuable
instruction time. Academics and discipline go hand in hand. You can be the best content instructor, but without the ability to control the
classroom the best lessons remain undelivered. Participants will learn how to avoid the "debate bait"—how to eliminate warnings and
multiple requests. These strategies have been shown to increase academics, decrease discipline challenges, gain parent support, and
empower all educators. Participants will be encouraged and challenged to implement strategies and techniques that will change the
classroom and campus climate immediately. Educators have reported a 70 percent and more success rate in reducing discipline using
these techniques and strategies.
Classroom management was rated as the most important variable to building and sustaining a high achieving classroom. Classroom
management (or lack of) is also the number one reason why educators are leaving the profession. You do not need to spend any more
money on new curricula, fancy programs, or trendy experts to increase student performance. Our “Time To Teach” strategies will
provide everything that you will need for a successful classroom and school.
