An Ineffective Tenured Teacher's Success Story

I have spoken to over 20,000 people in a period of just two years, and I have found that almost every school district has a "Mary Ann." You know her. She's a bit on the frumpy side, is insecure, a bit needy for approval and gives the appearance of being incompetent and confused about even being deserving of a job.

The Mary Anns we know have hearts of gold and are incredibly caring and genuinely interested in everyone's well being. They really do care, it's not just a front.

In fact, the Mary Anns of this world would give you the shirt off of their back if you needed it, just because they care that deeply for humanity.

Unfortunately, the Mary Anns are often put down and made fun of in our work world. They receive VIBES from their colleagues, (and parents) ever so discreetly, and in a politically correct fashion; vibes which imply that they are incompetent, incapable, just too sensitive and they just let people walk all over them.

They've been attitudinally labeled as: Losers!

The Mary Ann I came to know and love was the type of ineffective tenured teacher that had a great degree of difficulty with students, because she had never received the kind of training that would help her develop a truly effective Skill Set. The result was total chaos in her classroom each and every day.

The communities' most influential parents begged the Principal to not put their children in her classroom. So, the Principal - not wanting to "rock the boat" of the political system - put the lowest performing and most challenging students (the kids nobody wanted in their classrooms) in Mary Ann's room with the outside hope that she would get tired and quit.

I assure you I am not making this up - he openly shared this with me, and it was common knowledge among the faculty and staff - often gossiped about in the teacher's lounge.

The fall that I arrived at this school to work as the guidance counselor, the assessment that I had given Mary Ann's students revealed that 56% of her classroom were students who were at-risk behaviorally and emotionally and therefore below average level learners.

I invited Mary Ann to attend my Academic Success 101 Continuing Education Class that I was teaching through Portland State University in Portland, OR. She readily accepted my invitation and showed up to class ready to learn. She not only took the full 9 Week Class once but twice during that school year.

In the spring I re-issued the school district's test. The standard improvement normally shown by the best of teachers would show an increase of about 2 points.

Mary Ann's class had increased it's overall score by 4.7 points.

OUTSTANDING.

Needless to say, both Mary Ann and her student's broke through many cycles of failure in those seven months, because she eagerly applied what she was learning.

It's that time of year - the time to pre-pave the way to a phenomenal, easy flowing year with kids of any and all ages NOW. Go watch my video!

Learning a new Attitudinally Effective Skill Set - school wide - is as simple as scheduling 1 day a week, bi-weekly or monthly in-service / meetings - whatever fits your school's needs and schedule.

If your school has intense academic and behavioral issues, then do weekly meetings - or at the very least bi-weekly.

Step 1: Schedule the day and time for the Teacher Meetings and then ASSIGN one session for them to listen to at their convenience for learning how to be highly effective with the really tough behavioral and academic issues and then ...

Step 2: Come TOGETHER as an educational community with a shared common goal of academic excellence.

Simply start each meeting sharing that week's SUCCESSES and working your way through the tougher challenges utilizing the approaches being learned.

This will be a fast paced hour of discussing what's being learned and what's being applied.

Your leaders WILL lead the way, and the others will think it's their idea!

When you invest in Academic Success 101, you will immediately receive downloadable materials that you can issue out to your teachers - one session at a time.

In addition to your automatically downloadable package, an easy to navigate Online DASHBOARD is accessible to which you can distribute access to all your faculty and staff.
