Educators

The Journey Starts Here

The teacher is the decisive element in the classroom. If the teacher is warm and positive, the climate will be warm and positive too. If the teacher is enthusiastic about teaching, the students will be enthusiastic about learning. A motivated teacher motivates students. Setting aside staff development time for a workshop on motivation and positive school climate is not only beneficial — it’s imperative.

Step 1: Inspire

Teachers STILL Make The Difference

Teachers STILL make the Difference can serve as an exciting kick-off to the school year or an uplifting mid-year charger! It is positive and upbeat, laced with humor and a reminder of the important role teachers play as they influence students’ lives. This topic is also an appropriate keynote or break-out session for educational conferences.

Step 2 : Educate

Step 3: Motivate

Teaching From The Inside Out

John Goodlad in, A Place Called School, reminds us that kids may not always remember what they were taught but they will remember how they were treated.

Success in the classroom hinges on the climate created by teachers, administrators and the entire school staff. School climate starts at the top and permeates the entire organization. For each individual educator, leadership and personal effectiveness originates from the inside out.
