You just need ... 9 Weeks to achieve a 'Make A Difference' School Year!
Why nine weeks?
As a teacher, I felt the first nine-weeks of every school year set the stage for the entire year. I knew - down to my toes - that if my students' social and emotional needs were met, they would be highly functional for the rest of the school year. Life in my classroom would be very, very good.
It just takes nine!
Through teaching children, educators, and parents how to build a compassionate community, we dramatically raised emotional intelligence - EQ - and therefore academic performance.
Because of building a safe, synergistic community in the classroom FIRST, my students averaged 2.5 to 3 years of academic growth each year, and I had approximately 55%-60% at-risk youth population.
How did I do this?
My goal was simple. I placed the children's social and emotional needs above my concern about making it through "X number of pages" per week.
First Things First.
In the first 9 weeks of the school year, every - and I do mean "every" - single time a social or emotional situation played out in the classroom, lunchroom or play ground, we had an open discussion - no matter how long it took.
Take it exactly as it comes. Don't avoid, dismiss or ignore what's in front of you to take care of right there, right then. The payoff in nine weeks will be huge.
Start with The Fundamentals.
With the pressure to get kids to score high on achievement tests today, you simply must deal with the emotional and social issues first. Everything after that becomes the foundation for everything you could ever want the educational experience to be.
And now, here's the School OPENER - WEEK 1 of my 9-Week School Curriculum so you can see just how DOABLE this is!
You can DO THIS ... teaching is incredibly rewarding when students are actively learning and directly involved in each other's well being.
