Creating Your Extraordinary School
Parents and educators want the best for children and understand the critical importance of a positive educational experience. When students are not engaged in learning due to poor relationships with authority figures and peers and lack personal responsibility and motivation, they fail to become strong thinkers and independent, agile problem-solvers. Participants gain helpful strategies to start using immediately.
Course Overview
Imagine students and adults working in cooperation, with mutual respect and caring, taking initiative, problem-solving and owning responsibility. Imagine they have pride in what they accomplish individually and together, are creating positive results in the classroom, school, home and world and your teachers are spending the majority of the day teaching, not policing! Create Your Extraordinary School is a dynamic, interactive and fun program with the goal of teacher and student empowerment, supporting high participation, and increased group and personal responsibility.
Course Description
Attempting to simply control adults and children behavior is not effective. This course provides you with skills and strategies for your staff, students (and parents – we have a parallel parenting program) so that together, you create an exceptional culture within the school and classrooms. The result: engaged, cooperative, collaborative, responsible and respectful adults and students of all ages.
