Have you ever felt like your classroom was out of control? Have you ever experienced a ‘problem’ student? Are you tired of constantly looking for new ways to motivate students? If so, this workshop is for you. Based upon Tools for Teaching by Fred Jones, the workshop will assist you to integrate the management of discipline, instruction, and motivation into a system that will allow you to reduce the stress of teaching by preventing most management headaches.
For over 30 years Dr. Jones has studied highly successful teachers - the "naturals" - to see how they make success look easy. During that time he has conducted extensive research and constant experimentation in classrooms. His objective has been to perfect methods of classroom management that are both powerful and affordable for the teacher. Successful teaching is neither "magic" nor is it a collection of handy hints - the proverbial "bag of tricks." Rather, successful teaching is built around a handful of core competencies that are expressed in everything the teacher does. Once mastered, they bring rapid relief from teacher exhaustion for one simple reason: Responsible students who have learned to manage themselves require much less management from the teacher.
This is an eight-hour workshop, so please plan to attend all sessions. Dr. Jones’s Tools for Teaching will be included for all workshop participants. Credential renewal credit is available.
