Designed to tackle the tough challenges of classroom management head-on.

You’ve tried being firm. You’ve tried being fun. You’ve tried incentives, clip charts, proximity, and everything in between. Yet you still find yourself repeating directions, chasing compliance, and trying to teach amidst constant disruption.


You start the day with a solid plan. Clear routines. Thoughtful lessons. But by mid-morning, you're already repeating directions, managing disruptions, and wondering how much more energy you’ll need just to get through the afternoon.

Some students shut down. Others push back. And the rest wait while you juggle redirection, defiance, and disengagement.

It’s not from lack of effort or a lack of care. And it’s definitely not your fault. 

Most educators were trained to manage behavior with rules, reminders, and reward systems. These tools assume students will comply just because they’re told to.

But as you can see, today’s students don’t respond very well to assertive control…

METHOD ONE

Rules, Rewards, and Redirection

This is the default. You set clear expectations. You hold the line. You remind, redirect, reinforce. Maybe you throw in a reward system or clip chart to keep students motivated.

It might work. Until it doesn’t.

THE PROBLEM
This method treats behavior like a checklist. Rule broken? Redirect. But behavior isn’t logic-based. It’s instinctive and need-driven. And once stress, shame, or perceived threat sets in, the brain stops processing consequences the way we expect.

This approach leaves teachers exhausted and students unmotivated because it never addresses what’s driving the behavior in the first place.

METHOD TWO

Relationships, Relevance, and “Seeing the Good”

This method goes deeper.

You focus on connection. You build trust. You reinforce what’s working. You lean on empathy instead of power. And that matters. Students need to feel seen and of course they need connection.

THE PROBLEM
Connection without clarity can backfire. When the boundaries blur, students may stop seeing you as a leader and start seeing you as a peer.

This approach can make students feel supported, but not regulated. And it often leaves teachers feeling like relationships have replaced authority instead of reinforcing it.

METHOD THREE

Influence by Design

This is the shift that works. You align your behavior management, instruction, and relational cues with how students are actually wired to respond, engage, and regulate themselves.

Student behavior is not random. It is patterned. Students constantly scan their environment for signals, and make decisions—often before they’re aware of them—based on how those signals are interpreted.

THE PROBLEM
Most teachers were trained for a classroom that no longer exists. When students disengage or push back, we’re told it’s about discipline or even motivation.

But behavior isn’t just a choice. It’s the output of cognitive systems working below the surface. If we don’t design the learning environment with those systems in mind, we’ll keep working twice as hard for half the results.

Imagine a Classroom That Runs With You, Not Against You

Instead of bracing for pushback, you’re focused on the lesson. Engagement feels easier. You see more raised hands, more thoughtful responses, fewer shutdowns. Even your most challenging students are more settled, more open, more involved.

There’s space to teach again. Space to breathe again. This is possible with…

Here’s the shift you can expect when you learn

The Science of Modern
Classroom Management

Before The Workshop

  • Second-guessing every redirection, wondering if it made things better or worse…
  • Student compliance feels fragile. One small shift, and it’s gone…
  • Being told to “Just build relationships” without real, actionable strategies…
  • Feeling constant pressure to perform just to hold student attention…
  • Spending more time managing behavior than actually teaching…

After The Workshop

  • A sustainable, science-backed behavior system built for the realities of today’s classroom
  • Instruction and behavior management strategies that activate curiosity and persistence, not just momentary attention.
  • Using concrete strategies drawn from behavior science that build rapport and connection without blurring boundaries.
  • Clarity on the specific brain-based systems that truly drive student attention.
  • A proven framework that does the heavy lifting so you can teach with confidence, not tension.

Discover how behavior science transforms classroom management with a practical, research-backed, professional learning experience built for the challenges of today’s K-8 classrooms.
