Reach those high needs students so they work to potential
You want to support your students, teach the curriculum and have energy left at the end of the day.
You’ve tried different programs, getting support from colleagues and working through your “breaks.”
The problem is this is too much!
I get it. I wanted highly engaged students that learned to their potential.
I struggled with disengagement, lack of skill transfer as well as my own impact and energy level.
Then I figured out how to have my students learn to potential and have them nurture their relationships so they work.
Now, I teach teachers and watch them light up as they teach their students.

But first, learn 2 tools that will turn everything around.
The Make-it-Right Formula and De-escalation.
The Make-it-Right Formula:
Are your students late for school or an assignment?
Do they mistreat others?
Do they not follow-up on what they know to do?
The Make-it-Right formula is a simple 4-step process to clean up with someone. We all mess up. The result is students realize the impact of their actions leaving them free to start fresh.
It is time efficient and does not have to be monitored by a teacher once they learn the process.
Sign up for the Make-it-Right Webinar and kick start your way to thriving.
De-escalating a Conflict:
Ever witness a disagreement? Ever hear two sides polarizing?
Tensions escalate and neither person can be objective.
Learn to bring a sense of calmness with specific steps to de-escalate.
After there is a sense of calm, problems can get resolved well.
Make this a year where you and your students thrive!
