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.

What changes
Skills teachers use right away
The day ends with every teacher holding the same set of concrete techniques for the next class period.
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.

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.

Your presentation was awesome. You brought energy, fun, and excitement, and all of us who attended have not looked back. You truly helped me create the environment in which we want our kids to learn.

I bring the Time To Teach program to schools that are ready to get instruction time back. The strategies are research based and built for real classrooms, and teachers can use them the next morning. If your campus spends too much energy on low-level behavior, let's talk.
