Time To TeachTM Classroom Management Training

Do you have to ask your staff to do more with less? With bigger class sizes, how do you continue to:

  • Meet accountability standards?
  • Support implementation of TEKS Resource System or Common Core?
  • Improve school climate?
  • Decrease discipline referrals?
  • Give your teachers what they want – more Time To Teach?

What’s more cost effective: providing better tools for your teachers or recruiting  new teachers?

We are losing 50% of new teachers in their first 5 years – and you have a huge investment in them! And it isn’t because they don’t know the content or suddenly don’t love children anymore, it’s because they are overwhelmed with daily student behavior and discipline issues. And research shows that veteran teachers are holding on as best they can but leaving the education profession at a record pace.

Are your teachers losing valuable teaching time because today’s students don’t necessarily come to school ready and willing to learn?

The reality is we have a whole generation of children who has learned accountability from Bart Simpson, learned social skills through Facebook, learned behavior from Beavis and Butthead, MTV and Jersey Shore, and have developed their sense of entitlement from the World Wide Web of instant gratification.

Is instruction being derailed in your classroom by students who have never been taught expectations and proper classroom behavior?

The vast majority of these derailments in the classroom come in the form of emergent or low-level chronic behaviors. Nothing huge, just the constant drip from student interruptions, from blurting out to putting on lip gloss in the middle of math instruction – day after day – year after year!

Is teacher job-satisfaction and less stress important to the success of your campus/district?

Time To TeachTM Classroom Management training, can help your staff gain back that lost teaching time with research based, proven strategies that minimize or eliminates 70 – 90% of low-level, chronic behaviors.
