In the 21st century, this new millennium, at the high school level, conventional rules, and consequences aren't enough, especially if you are a Character Development Coach or a teacher at a school with poor or overwhelmed administrative leadership. You need something more. You need something that gives you leverage from within, that you control. You also need something that actually matters to the students assigned to you, something that will keep them on task and accountable every minute of the teaching and training period(s). Keep Calm and Manage Your Classroom High School Guide for Character Development Coaches and Teachers will provide this for you no matter where you coach or teach, or how long you've been coaching or teaching. It's important to point out, however, that because every school, character coaching and teaching situation is unique, the guide allows for maximum flexibility. You won't find any hard and fast guidelines. Instead, you'll find a simple approach you can modify to suit your needs.

The purpose of the Keep Calm and Manage Your Classroom Elementary Guide is to hold individual students accountable for misbehavior without having to lecture, scold, admonish, or raise your voice-which frees you from the stress of trying to convince or coerce your students into behaving and allows you to demand impeccable behavior without causing friction, animosity, or resentment. This, in turn, makes building strong, behavior-influencing rapport and leverage far easier. In fact, it makes it nearly effortless. Because when you have the freedom to coach and teach without interference, your personality, charisma, and passion for leadership will emerge naturally and shine into every corner of your classroom and believe it or not even the ISS/ACS classroom. The guide is designed to curb misbehavior regardless of the amount of support you have from parents, your administrator, or anyone else for that matter. We believe that this guide will be effective with most challenging schools and classrooms imaginable. This guide works, and it will work for you, too.
