Making Teaching Fun and Rewarding Again..... Instead of Stressful and Exhausting
Across the country classroom teachers and school districts are in crisis over the ever-changing environment for education in American society. As we grow more diverse in our cultural norms each year, more and more school systems struggle with the apparent breakdown in social values and parenting styles that mirrors these changes. Teachers long for consistent ways to: help end student arguing and back talk, guide children to own and solve their problems, raise test scores and save teaching time.
An in-service training curriculum is now available for educators and administrators that focuses on the principles presented in Parenting With Love and Logic, the landmark book and parenting skills program developed by Jim Fay and Foster Cline of the Love and Logic Institute in Golden, Colorado. This new classroom program, developed by Jim Fay and Charles Fay, Ph.D., focuses on "9 Essential Skills" to bring the principles espoused by Fay and Cline into the classroom. Now broadly available in New York City through "Parenting A Responsible Kid" , the program consists of nine separate modules, each of which teaches a different subset of skills for classroom teachers and school administrators. The opportunity now exists for your school to become one that directly provides teachers with skills that let them spend more time doing what they love -- TEACHING -- while advancing the principles that support like-minded parents in raising responsible kids with greater joy and ease.
The goals of this "skill implementation program" for the the classroom are as follows:
1. To create classroom and school environments that stimulate responsible behavior and high levels of academic achievement.
2. To prevent misbehavior and increase instructional time on task.
3. To avoid power struggles while setting limits with challenging students.
4. To teach character and responsibility through the application of logical consequences for certain behaviors instead of punishment.
5. To develop positive, cooperative relationships with even the most difficult students and their parents.
6. To preserve the learning environment when one or more students become disruptive and unresponsive to preventive discipline.
