One of the harshest realities for us as educators is realizing that we cannot control our student’s behavior.  On top of that, we know that there is no “quick fix” for our problems.  This workshop will help you with both the theoretical and practical applications of Educating for Responsibility and Quality™ .  

After attending this workshop, educators consistently report that they deal more effectively with problem students.  

You will learn how to use your knowledge and skills to encourage and teach people (students) how to evaluate and correct their own behavior.  This is the essence of personal responsibility and quality work.  Throughout the process, educators will learn about, practice and discuss basic “conferencing principles” and leadership methods that increase the likelihood that student's will make more responsible choices.

Educators will:

·         Learn that all behavior is a choice!

·         Learn how the 4 basic psychological needs and "our pictures” drive our behavior.

·         Learn and practice 4 simple, yet profound questions” that promote responsibility”.

·         Learn how to help yourself and others enhance the important skill of self-evaluation?

·         Learn how to use SMART plans?

·         Learn and practice an efficient way to talk with students, parents, colleagues, etc.?

·         Learn classroom / school management principles that will increase your effectiveness in most situations?

Many of the concepts and ideas presented originate from Dr. William Glasser, author of The Quality School, The Quality School Teacher and Choice Theory.  They have been used, adapted and enhanced by Bob Hoglund.
