After listening to these teleseminar digital recordings, you will be guaranteed to learn these powerful teaching strategies:

DISCOVER

    • how to find enough time in the day to get everything that needs to be done in the curriculum, while making sure you have a life outside of the classroom.
    • how to keep the rest of the class learning and working while you work with a small group
    • how to help students organize themselves

LEARN

    • to manage your classroom and have students focused and on task
    • the activities to keep everyone busy and challenged at the same time
    • ways of having your students respect one another and themselves

FIND OUT

    • how to get students to stop talking so you can explain and teach the lesson
    • the process of getting students to solve their own problems
    • when to inspire the child who seeks negative attention

INSPIRE

    • your students’ passion for learning and interest in the lessons you teach
    • non-achieving students to become achieving students
    • a classroom with diverse needs, ESL students and students on IEP’s

UNDERSTAND

    • the right techniques to manage a rigid curriculum
    • the right assignments for each student that will meet their level for success
    • the right ways of communicating with difficult parents

EXPERIENCE

    • ways of discovering where your students are, what their specific needs are, and devising a specific plan to help them achieve their desired goal
    • how to teach each student individually, and all the students together
    • getting through to students who have such low self esteem that they will not even attempt tasks, and will not believe praise - even genuine specific praise

      In one word, this course was practical!   The content of this workshop covered all the necessary areas needed to assist teachers in limiting the amount of STRESS we all tend to experience.  Surveying teachers prior to creating the content of this course was key!  The presenters are experienced educators who clearly recognize the daily challenges we face in the classroom.  With each session, Paul and Marjan were willing to listen to our concerns, and then did not hesitate to offer suggestions, even if it meant getting back to us via email.  I will definitely be implementing many of these new techniques for the upcoming school year.  Thanks again Paul and Marjan!

This teleseminar came just as I was beginning a new school year.  It helped me refocus on many aspects of my teaching that I know are all-important for a successful classroom. I already have chosen several strategies that I am excited to begin with right away.  The "homework" that was assigned after each session was very useful in helping me decide how I was going to apply that information to my own teaching situation.  Thanks for helping renew my energy!

Paul Jackson

Paul retired in 1998 after a teaching career including 20 years as a classroom teacher and 12 years as an Elementary School Principal.

Paul's interest in the teaching/learning process led him to share his love of learning through teacher-focused workshops both locally and internationally. Among his topics: Stress Management – A Personal Look; A Little R and R for the Soul – Reflection and Reflection; Burners and Blisters Go Together – When Helping Hurts (Enabling); Your Dreams Can Come True; It Can Happen to You. His philosophy of "Helping people help themselves" revolves around the concept that "without reflection, experience is not cumulative".

Paul recognized that in order to have an impact as a Principal on each and every one of the students in the school he must have an impact on the teachers. To attain that goal he devoted himself to training school administrators in the supervision and evaluation process so school administrators could impact what went on the classroom on a daily basis. During a sabbatical he wrote, "Formative Supervision Through Data Collection and Collaboration", a training manual of data collecting instruments for use in the classroom by administrators and teachers.

Paul's retirement didn't dampen his interest in life-long learning as he embarked on an Internet career helping people world-wide write, edit, format and ePublish their eBooks on the Internet. Paul is the author of several eBooks including: The 10 Steps to eBook Authoring; Awaken the Author Within – A Definitive Guide to eBook Authoring; Add Pizzazz to Your eBook; Add Pizzazz to Your Viral Marketing eBook; The Leadership Secrets of the Canada Goose; Supervision and Evaluation of Classroom Teachers – Part 1 An Overview of the Process; The FIRST 102 Best "Reflective Quickies" for Teachers – A Bathroom Book for Devoted Teachers". His eBook Authoring Services can be found at http://www.ebookwritingandpublishing.com .

Paul brings both the classroom teacher's and the school administrator's perspective to How to Thrive and Survive in the Classroom as he shares with you strategies for success.

Joe Martin has created this bonus eBook " When Students Just Won’t Listen 21 Powerful Questions You Can Use To Get Through To Your Teenager. As a teacher (or parent) of a teenager, have you ever found yourself uttering any of these (or similar) phrases:

  • “Why do you refuse to listen to me?”
  • “I feel like I’m talking to a brick wall.
  • “You really think you know everything, don’t you?”
  • “I’m just telling you this for your own good.”
  • “I’m just trying to stop you from making the same mistake I’ve made.”
  • “You think I don’t know what I’m talking about.”
  • “Why do you insist on learning the hard way?”
Joe shares with you 21 of the most powerful questions you can use to “get through” to almost any teenager. Each one is tried and proven – and Joe gives you specific instructions on how to use them and when to use (and why they work).
This is a MUST HAVE resource for anyone who has to instruct, inspire, influence, and/or interact with teenagers (including pre-teens). Here are just a few of the 21 student behavior issues Professor Joe attacks head-on in his “no holds barred – tell it like it is” style:


Students with bad attitudes

  • Students who negatively influence others
  • Students who waste time (yours and theirs)
  • Students who think they know it all
  • Students who hang around the wrong crowd
  • Students who are angry and bitter
  • Students who make excuses
  • Students who are bored with school and much much more.

 

Paul Jackson has created a special bonus eBook, Bathroom Reading for the Devoted Classroom Teacher, 25 of the very best "reflective quickies" guaranteed to get you reflecting on the past, in the present and for the future to make the changes you need to make to become a more effective teacher. These short descriptions are food for thought that every classroom teacher should consider.
