Dear Fellow Educator,

My first year of teaching was not pretty. I'd graduated from university excited to teach and full of the desire to help students learn. I was the first teacher at school in the morning and the last to leave that afternoon.

But it wasn't long before my excitement started to fade. Teaching started becoming more and more of a chore. I started to dread coming in to school each day. I was stressed out at the end of each day and worried sick at the start of each week. I even started browsing the help wanted ads looking for a new job - and this was after paying for four years of university education so that I could teach!

What changed? What made me start to really hate teaching?

It was simple... The students.

The students simply wouldn't listen to me. I'd spend all my evenings working on fancy lessons that I was certain would entertain and educate my students. Then, when I'd start the lesson, the students would be talking away as if I weren't even there. I'd find myself raising my voice, threatening students with more homework, even getting in shouting matches with them.

All because I wanted them to learn and grow into adults capable of getting good jobs and making and taking care of their future families.

I'll never forget the moment I realized that something had to change. That either I had to change careers or learn how to manage my students.

I had just finished giving directions for a short project I'd spent several days creating. I was excited to see how my students were going to handle the project since I'd put so much time into it. Once I'd explained the project and how they were to begin, I told the students to get started.

No one did anything. One student said, "Uh, what are we doing?" The class laughed.

I felt my face get hot and my temper rise. Another student said, "This class is so lame."

That did it. I exploded. I yelled louder than I think I've ever yelled before. I called the students lazy and ungrateful and a half-dozen other different things I can't even remember. I slammed my hand down on the desks, making some students jump. Eventually I just stormed out of the class and locked myself into a bathroom where I held my head in my hands until class was over.

I knew I couldn't hide forever, so I took a deep breath and walked back to class trying not to meet any of my students' eyes as they left the class. One student was still in class, a girl who'd I'd enjoyed having in class. She was one of those students who would do whatever I asked just because I was the teacher and she was the student.

She'd clearly been crying. She came up to me and said, "I'm sorry about what happened. I really wish they would treat you better." And she walked out, her books in her arms.

That was when I realized things had to change. That I had to somehow take my class back from my students and put myself in charge once again.

My principal called me in to her office the very next day. She'd heard from a couple parents who called concerned at how I had acted in front of the class. In no uncertain terms, my principal laid it all on the line. She told me, simply, that unless I learned how to...

manage students who don't want to learn

motivate students

deal with chronically tardy students

handle disrespectful and defiant students

manage the little behaviors like bathroom breaks and frequently absent students

stop the bullying and harassment going on in my class

...that I wouldn't be hired back for my second year of teaching. And I probably wouldn't be hired on by any school in the district! My teaching career would be over before it ever got started!

I started crying. I felt like a fool. Here I was, bawling like one of my students, in front of my principal. What would I do if I couldn't teach? The last five years of my life I'd dedicated to teaching. I wasn't qualified to do anything else! For so long, I'd expected to be one of those career teachers that teachers for 30 years or more. And here I am nearly fired after my first year!

"Turning Things Around"

I went home that night and spent the entire weekend trying to look at my problems with my students from a new perspective. What was it exactly that was keeping me from being successful in the classroom?

I made a list of the dozen or so different behaviors that kept me from teaching my students. And what I realized is that nearly all my students' misbehaviors and all my frustrations were caused by one missing element. You know what that was?

I hadn't taught my students how to behave.

It sounds silly, I know. Especially in the older grades. Teaching students how to behave? They should just know how!

But clearly they didn't. Otherwise I wouldn't be having the problems I was having.

So I went to school the next week with some nice homemade signs about being nice to eachother and being respectful to me and the other students. I even took the time to show the students my nice signs and to calmly warn them about the importance of doing what the signs told them to, which was simple statements like "Be respectful!" and "Treat others the way you want to be treated."

This should change everything! If my students knew how to behave, then I shouldn't have any more problems.

It didn't work.

That very same day I found myself losing my temper all over again. I tried to calm myself down, but it just didn't work.

Why couldn't my students just sit down and listen to me? Didn't they realize how important this was to their futures? Couldn't they see how much I really cared about them and their personal growth?

Perhaps that wasn't the problem. Perhaps my well-intentioned signs encouraging "mutual respect" weren't clear enough. Perhaps I needed to approach my students behaviors as if it were an entire lesson all by itself.

I spent that evening working on a new lesson. A lesson I'd never taught before. A lesson I'd never heard anyone else teach before, either.

This lesson would teach students how to behave in my class. And I was going to be so specific that there wouldn't be any room for misunderstanding.

I came to school the next day, armed with my new lesson, which had actually turned into a two day lesson. I explained to the students why I had to teach them these silly sounding lessons.

And I taught them, following my lesson plan carefully, being as specific and calm as possible.

You know what happened?

It WORKED!

It really worked! I mean it wasn't perfect from the start, but by the end of that week, my students were behaving better. I was interrupted less. Students were listening more. I didn't have to repeat myself a dozen times to be heard. I hadn't raised my voice nearly all week. I even laughed with my students at different points.

By Friday of that week, I surprised myself when I looked in the mirror before heading out the door for the weekend. I was smiling again! I was even looking forward to Monday so that I could see if my success with my new class management system was a fluke or if it would continue to work.

The next week, not only did it continue to work, but other things got easier, too! When in the past I would have been terribly frustrated at...

disrespectful and defiant students
students who shout in class
students who won't sit down
the chronically unprepared student
students who won't listen
students not following directions
having to tell students over and over what to do

...now I know exactly how to handle these situations without losing my temper or getting upset. In fact, as time passed, those behaviors showed up less and less. It was amazing for me to witness. In a matter of weeks if not days, I had completely turned around my entire approach to managing student behaviors and my outlook on teaching had changed too.

My principal came by later that semester and asked me jokingly, "What happend to that other teacher that used to be in here?" My students were fun to be around, and my parents were often visibly thankful with me when I ran into them in the community.

I had become the teacher I'd always wanted to be.

And I want to help you become the teacher you want to be, too!

That's why I've developed this training. And that's why I want you to have it!

My training materials give you a unique opportunity to grow as a teacher. You now have three options for getting the help you need to start managing your classroom in a simple and effective way:

Option One - My original videos that started it all. These two videos will show you

• why you need to create a system of classroom management
• what a solid class management system looks like
• how to implement your class management system, even if it's not the first week of school
• how to teach your students your system

Option Two: The novel inspired by the videos. Soon after I made my original class management videos available, many teachers responded that they'd like something in print that they could refer back to over time. That summer, I sat down in front of the computer for two months straight and created what turned into a nearly 80 page novel on my struggles with classroom management and how I was able to overcome those struggles. Those struggles were the inspiration for the behavior management system I now offer you, and the novel goes into this system in great detail.

The videos of Option One are a great place to start, but many teachers have found that the novel speaks to them on a deeper level. The novel, called Take Back That Class - How I Learned to Love Teaching All Over Again!, takes the reader deeper into all aspects of behavior management and the teacher's role in both creating and solving most of the behavior problems occuring in our classes.
