Teachers provide today's youth with the tools to become a positive part of society. Whether they are successful or not determines the fate of our civilization. Unfortunately, teacher training does not completely prepare the individual for this crucial role.
All teachers need to:
> Know the student and their community
> Respect the student as a valuable individual
> Require respect from the student
> Model organization and preparedness in the classroom and require it from students
> Respect effort
> Reward Responsibility
> Expect success
The goal of this manual is to provide teachers with tools to quickly correct the negative situations in any teaching scenario. The manual is structured to allow each teacher to customize it to the needs of his or her own classroom.
A positive environment fosters the following outcomes:
For the Teachers:
> Confidence
> Control
> Success, academically and socially
For the students:
> Self-confidence, socially and academically
> Discovery of positive communication methods
> Increased academic success
For administrators and college level instructors:
> Specific guidelines for setting up a class
> Positive behaviors for teachers to implement
> Increased student success
