Classroom Management: The number 1 reason why teachers leave the profession?

This reason needs to be addressed immediately to keep teachers at your school and in the profession of education. I have had the privilege of training many teachers on classroom management. Many have thanked me for demonstrating how to effectively manage their classrooms from day 1 and in the middle year adjustments when they need to be made as well. This session will provide you with several different tips and strategies to help you manage your classroom.

There is no need to come to work stressed out when I can help you and your teachers manage students. I have worked in several different school settings and understand how to effectively manage the classroom in elementary, middle, and high school settings. I can ensure you that your teachers that need to be trained on Classroom Management will improve significantly from attending one of my sessions as the others have benefited throughout my tenure in education.

Student-Teacher Relationships: How it impacts all of your data?

This session will help you get a clear understanding of your data and how student-teacher relationships ties to school improvement. This was the number one theme in my book Underperforming Girls on the Georgia Milestones Assessment: A Case Study. Through interviewing fifteen different educators student-teachers emerged as the most important part of school data. Students know when an adult does not care about them and will not give their best efforts academically, behaviorally, or athletically.

Learn the subtle signs that could help to improve your attendance, test scores, culture, athletic programs, and morale of your school. This theme needs attention all around the world as your school could improve significantly by attending this session to improve your understanding of student-teacher relationship issues.

How to pass the teacher certification test?

Passing the test and setting your teachers up for a successful career in education.

This is a nationwide problem for the entire United States as per my research there are currently 136,000 non-qualified teachers. I have reached out to so many schools offering support for teachers with minimal results to work with me to help them. Unfortunately, if nothing happens the trend of teachers looking to other opportunities outside of education will continue to trend upwards. That could come to a halt by making sure that they know you are supporting them. One way is to give them the support they need to pass the teacher certification test. I have helped many teachers pass the test the first time they take the test and provided several strategies to navigate through the public school system by having a successful career as a teacher.

Do not let another day pass by not helping your teachers that have an emergency license, substitute teacher, or any college student seeking help. These sessions are intended to help public schools, colleges, and universities.

How to manifest success in your school?

Learn some of the traits that make a school successful and how to lead it in this new era. Every school that I have worked in has improved in whatever area I worked in at the time. I believe that every school can be successful based on certain factors that can be controlled by teachers, coaches, and administrators. There are several proven strategies that I would like to share to make sure your school is improving academically, increasing enrollment, winning championships, and increasing morale.

Learning how to manifest success consist of ten proven things that I have used throughout my career to help do all the things that I just mentioned. Do not hesitate to schedule a session with me so I can share with your team these simple but effective strategies needed to become successful.
