Staff Development with Rick Morris
Rick is currently conducting seminars throughout the country to rave reviews. With presentations ranging from sixty minutes to all-day workshops, you'll find something that will fit the needs of your school or district.
workshop #1: Student Management
Learn the easy-to-use system that is revolutionizing today's challenging classrooms. This dynamic, up-beat seminar will dramatically improve the effectiveness of your staff. Rick Morris's New Management is the program that both new teachers and veterans thoroughly enjoy.
(Length: 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours)
Workshop #2: Interactive Discipline
This seminar will cover techniques for effectively dealing with negative behavior while reinforcing the positive. Teachers will learn a variety of specific strategies that will: 1) improve the overall classroom learning environment; and 2) promote student achievement and success.
(Length: 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours)
NOTE: Workshops #1 and #2 should not be combined for 6-hour presentation. There's just too much information for a one-day staff development activity.
Workshop #3: Five Things
(That Teachers and Their Students Need)
Author and educator Rick Morris will share a handful of innovative yet practical ideas from the incredibly successful New Management program of student management, motivation, and involvement. These techniques (which are included in Workshop #1) are ones your staff members will be able to start using the very next day.
