Everyone wants to know how to reach their students who are apathetic, unmotivated, underperforming, and claim to not care about school. This seminar is designed to provide successful strategies that you can use in your classroom and school to make positive changes in these challenging students. We may become frustrated with the numbers of students who have “checked out,” because we know the symptoms, but don’t always know the solutions. The good news is that there is hope and there are strategies to begin a change in the cycle of helplessness these students get caught up in.

This seminar provides teachers with tools, insights and encouragement which will empower them to create a safe learning environment. It is filled with concrete, proven-effective techniques and ready-to-use tools for managing all classroom behavior. Teachers will learn specific and realistic strategies for setting up a prevention-based discipline system that is designed to head off most challenging discipline problems before they develop.

Respectful Discipline is for classroom teachers of all grade levels. It is organized and contains many practical examples. The goal is to maximize teaching time and minimize time spent disciplining. Society has changed and so have the youth we work with in schools. Our jobs as teachers have become increasingly more difficult as students’ behaviors are more demanding than ever. There is not any one approach that will work for all students all the time. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to provide teachers with a variety of tools so they are equipped to handle a variety of different students with different behaviors. My goal is to help teachers become proactive in the classroom rather than reactive. Educators will leave this workshop with new tools, sharpened old tools, and renewed enthusiasm for teaching. Spend more time teaching, less time disciplining.
