EARN 27 CEUs with CHOICE THEORY
|
Coaching for Excellence’s, LLC Basic Intensive Week in Choice Theory® and Quality Schools will propel you to the next level in your classroom. It will make this year one that will be in the beginning of a new way of life for you. I know this school year isn’t even over yet but it won’t be long and you’ll be thinking about next year and how to make it better. What can you do differently? How can you reach those kids who seem unreachable? How can you involve the parents who seem uninvolved? How can you raise the test scores of your classroom? How can you create a safe environment where your students respect one another and you?  |
How to build effective relationships with even the most difficult students. |
|
How to implement competency-based instruction into your classroom. |
|
How to tap into students’ motivation to relate to others and to learn useful things. |
|
How to utilize a four-step approach to problem-solving. |
|
How to eliminate discipline problems. |
I loved Lead Management and Choice Theory® so much that I became an instructor myself in 1993 so I could teach these ideas to anyone else who wanted to develop the expertise. It was one of Dr. Glasser’s books that gave me the best direction on how to become a supervisor when I was first promoted from the front lines and found myself supervising my former colleagues. It will provide you with a model to help your people self-evaluate their own behavior so they can become a more productive worker.
One of the things I like best about Choice Theory® is its wide-spread application—you can use it in your personal, as well as your professional life. It provides transferable skills for everyday life. Choice Theory® helped me to become a better supervisor, counselor, mother, life partner, friend and a better all around person. When you truly embrace its teachings, Choice Theory® becomes a way of life instead of a hypothetical theory of human behavior.
Over the years, I have taught hundreds of leaders and supervisors just like you. Some came to the training because they wanted to get the information; others came because they worked for a company who made the training mandatory. Whatever the original circumstances, most left my workshop very pleased they had attended, with a new outlook on their methods and a positive attitude for implementation.
This is no one-day training event. This is a week-long workshop. There is a total of 27-30 hours of intense training. This is not some boring “stand and deliver” training where you sit passively and learn from some “expert instructor.” This is an interactive workshop, where you will be practicing the skills you learned. If you are not serious about taking your supervision skills to the next lever, don’t come. This workshop will challenge you and will learn more than you thought possible in 4-4½ days.
Create the classroom you really want, need and deserve! Remember why you chose to become a teacher. You really can make a huge difference in the lives of your students!
Past Participant’s Comments
"In a world in which relationships are suffering, Choice Theory/Reality Therapy brings new hope. This hope can begin in the classroom being taught to our students and in turn they can deliver it to the world. This hope helps us heal disconnections, deliver responsiblity for our actions to ourselves not to others, and creates a brand new understanding of what we want and need. It drives us in a direction of action that we control ourselves and this is a powerful tool to share with our students. Don't miss this opportunity to open the door of hope for yourself and your students!"

This is no ordinary workshop where you sit behind a table while you listen to someone speak all day for a week. This training is highly interactive, allowing all participants the opportunity to learn the information in whatever mode they learn best. There will be opportunities for kinesthetic, visual and auditory learners alike. You will learn from each other’s experiences, as well as from the instructor.
There will be opportunity to practice the new skills you learn. This will not simply be theoretical professional development. You will utilize Choice Theory® to guide your reality therapy practice. You will use the four questions to promote change. You will have the opportunity to role play your client(s) to possibly see the situation from a different angle. You will help others evaluate the effectiveness of their choices. You will practice giving feedback by facilitating the other person’s self-evaluation.

Please don’t let one more year go by without you getting the most out of the time, energy and passion you devote to your students. There is a way to reach them that they probably didn’t teach you in college.
Once you learn and begin to implement the elements of a Quality School program, you will be amazed at the results!

Gary Zukav says, “Relationship is the root of all influence.” They don’t tell education students that in college. You are taught curriculum development and behavior management and many teaching programs actually discourage getting too friendly with your students. Many teachers have confided they were told to be sure not to smile at least until the Thanksgiving break.
It’s practically impossible to influence sustained change without a relationship. Your students will be more willing to learn what you are teaching if they like you. Your students will be less likely to create behavior problems if they like and respect you. The respect part requires a consistent presentation and approach of letting your students know they are capable of self-discipline and teaching them the skills they need to do that so you won’t have to.
School Administrators
The Quality School Program is an initiative that will change the entire culture of your school. There are currently twenty (20) Glasser-approved Quality Schools—some are secondary, some are elementary, some are public, some are private, some are special education schools, some are in wealthy communities and some are in areas of poverty. These concepts and ideas transcend culture and socio-economic status.
The following are the results realized by the twenty Glasser-approved Quality Schools:
- Relationships are based upon trust and respect, and all discipline problems, not incidents, have been eliminated.
Every student really can succeed and implementing Quality School ideas convinces even the most “tuned out” students that they, too, can succeed in school.
Schools have successfully applied for NCLB grant money to implement the Quality School training. Application of the ideas can be incorporated into your Continuous Improvement Plans.
Training in Choice Theory® not only helps individuals in their professional life, but it provides wide-spread applicability to one’s personal life. When your staff is more satisfied personally, they will be able to more fully devote themselves to the work at hand.
As far as training programs go, training in Quality School concepts is relatively inexpensive. If you send individual teachers to a week of training, the cost is $500 per teacher or counselor. If you have more than twelve (12) teachers or counselors, then it would be more cost effective to hire me to come to your school where I can train sixteen (16) individuals for $6000 without them incurring any travel expenses.
If you are interested in on site staff development, please contact me at 708-957-6047 or email me at kim@coachingforexcellence.biz for special pricing.
Training can be done during staff development days or during the summer at your convenience.
What about the teachers who won’t get on board? Every school has those teachers who refuse to look at doing things differently. They are the ones who are either terrified of change, are sure their methods are the only ones that truly work or are simply oppositional to any new ideas that are introduced. When we begin a Quality School program, we like to start at the top with either the superintendents if the program is district-wide or with the principal if it’s school-wide and then with any other individuals who are interested in learning the concepts, ideas and techniques.
What then begins to happen is that other teachers start to notice the success that is occurring in their colleague’s classrooms and many will become curious as to what’s making the difference. Those who are still resistant will remain resistant but there will be so few of them that their presence will be inconsequential. Some may even leave your school because they won’t be able to tolerate the pressure to get on board. This will be an internal pressure as well as a pressure from the students and fellow teachers, not from the administration.
Teachers
Naturally, the Quality School program is greatly exciting—the thought of an entire building or school district immersing itself in one philosophy for the betterment of all. However, it is possible for you to make a difference within your classroom, even if you are the only one in the school applying Quality School concepts. This is why Dr. Glasser wrote the book, Quality School Teacher.
This training will help you gain the control you seek in your classroom, as well as make your classroom a place where both you and the students like to be.
I offer this week of training in two possible formats. It is either offered as a one-week, four to five consecutive days of training totaling a minimum of 27 hours or it can be offered two-days one week and two days within two weeks of the first days of training for a minimum of 30 hours of training.
