Product Description of Unlocking the Secrets of Great Teachers: Being an excellent teacher requires skill, practice, and knowledge. For all teachers, but particularly for new teachers, managing a classroom can be a daunting task. In this program, expert Rick Smith teaches educators the art of managing a classroom in order to create an environment where students can learn and achieve. In three parts filled with real classroom examples, teachers learn about who they are as teachers, what they do proactively, and what they do in response to problems. In the first section, teachers learn to assume the best about students and to develop an inner authority in dealing with problems. Next, teachers discover how to hold their ground with their students, as well as how to form positive connections and how to implement successful teaching procedures. Finally, teachers learn to design engaging lessons, employ active learning strategies, and effectively use consequences. Through these three learning programs, your new teachers will develop into the expert teachers of tomorrow.

Our Unlocking the Secrets of the Best Teachers Facilitator Pack contains everything you need for over eight hours of group training. Included is material for follow-up, in-depth and differentiated learning, and group discussions and activities. The training videos feature examples of real teachers working with real students in real classrooms.
We know one-shot cures never work, which is why our program provides many opportunities for follow-up to ensure that strategies become embedded in your schools. Along with the group training offered in the Facilitator Pack, our Teacher Implementation Packs are designed to ensure that the knowledge being taught in group training sessions becomes a reality in each individual classroom--allowing for ongoing, individual study and follow-up with real classroom examples either online or via CD-ROM. By reinforcing the group training, strategies will become job-embedded.
Compared to traditional, one-time workshops, such focused and ongoing training is the most effective way that you can bring about teacher improvement. Ongoing training has a greater impact on student achievement than any other teacher characteristic besides the teachers cognitive ability.
For fifteen years, the School Improvement Network has been creating practical solutions for educators, taking the best research-based methods and making them applicable to every teacher. The Networks product development teams have visited thousands of schools and every product contains real classroom examples, effectively helping to bridge the gap from training to classroom implementation.
