SUCCESSFUL CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE^®

The Successful Classroom Management Initiative^® is a transformative endeavor. Through this initiative, we seek to transform American education by presenting seminars on Classroom Management, and providing concentrated support to teachers. Few are the teachers who have been taught Classroom Management as part of their educational training. Teaching candidates are taught by college/university professors who have little or no experience with the real life challenges of K-12 teachers. The irony is that teachers are evaluated on and measured by a standard that is not taught during their teaching preparation.

We have created several models of interactive Classroom Management Seminars to bridge the gap left in the educational preparation of our nation’s teachers. These seminars will demonstrate how teachers can capture and invest in the most critical moments of the entire school year: the first 30 minutes. They will provide practical strategies that will teach educators how to create a safe, orderly and excellent teaching and learning community in their classrooms. Seminar topics include:

• How to establish order and engage students on day one
• How to maximize time-on-task and minimize time spent on distractions and off-task activities
• How to develop a healthy and safe learning environment that rests on the bedrock of respect for everyone
• How to design differentiated products and collaborative learning activities

Successful Classroom Management is the result of thinking with the end in mind and working hard to achieve that goal. The ideal end is an excellent school year in which students have learned in a well managed, safe, educationally rich classroom, and their teacher experiences an enjoyable, productive and rewarding year.

The Successful Classroom Management Initiative^® is a two part program that has been developed to meet a critical need that is missing in teacher education curriculum.

Part I
Faculty-wide Classroom Management Seminars
Three Hours

Part II
Classroom Visitation for Struggling Teachers

Why are Classroom Management Seminars Necessary?

Classroom management training is absent from the teacher education curriculum of most colleges and universities. College and university professors rarely deal with the type of classroom management issues that must be addressed regularly by the K-12 teacher. They cannot teach what they do not know.

In a 2010 interview with a national news magazine, new teachers complained about the lack of classroom management training.

Teachers are being evaluated on and held accountable for skills that were missing from their teacher education experience.

How will a Classroom Management Seminar benefit my School or District?

• Struggling teachers will be taught how to regain control of their classroom and better manage their classes.
• Excellent teachers will be provided with additional tools for managing an ever changing student population.
• There will be a reduction in the human and financial capital spent on struggling teachers and off-task students
• Implementation of classroom management training will lead to greater student engagement, improved student achievement and increased student/teacher satisfaction.
