COURSES
Assertive Discipline (8 hr workshop)
Assertive Discipline is a programme designed to give teachers the skills to handle big classes of ill-disciplined children through a positive rather than a negative avenue. We offer alternatives to corporal punishment, the typical merit/demerit systems and have found our strategies to be very effective because they empower teachers to discipline learners themselves immediately in the classroom rather than making learners stand outside or go to the school SMT.
Succeeding with Challenging Learners (8 hr workshop)
Whilst the Assertive Discipline programme deals with the vast majority of learners a number of challenging learners will still end up in the system and these learners cause the teachers a great deal of stress and in many instances they disrupt learning in our schools. This course trains teacher to identify who is misbehaving, why they are misbehaving and what can be done about it in a mainstream classroom. We cover conflict resolution and a number of strategies for teachers to use to solve problems.
Differentiation (Afternoon workshop)
Today's classes are divided up into three groups, a strong group of learners who finish quickly, a weak group who aren't even going to attempt the work set out in front of them and a middle of the road group who plod along and get the work done. Most teachers today on cater for one of these groups and as a result many face discipline problems and learning barriers aren't addressed. In this course we train teachers in 11 Differentiation strategies which empower them to ensure that all learners are busy all the time. The course also shows teachers how to appeal to visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners and how to create interactive lessons that motivate and inspire learners.
Classroom Management (Afternoon workshop)
Many teachers today need assistance in time management, stress managements and organisational skills to manage their classrooms successfully. We run this workshop to assist teachers with these basic skills.
Positive Parenting (3hr workshop)
The root of our discipline problems begin in the home where many of today's parents lack the skills to discipline their own children, many parents spend so little time with their children that they don't want to fight with them during that limited time so the children are left to their own devices. This course is designed to empower parents to follow in the schools' footsteps and be proactive about discipline.
