A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

I think we can all agree that today, more than ever, educators face a variety of challenges in the classroom. These challenges range from increased accountability for educators to students who come to school angry, hostile, disinterested, unmotivated, and disconnected from society.

As educators, we share many of the same frustrations and have many of the same questions about how to successfully teach difficult, defiant students. These questions often include:

How can I teach when students are disrespectful, disruptive or disinterested?
How can I successfully deal with classroom challenges and disruptions?
What do I do when students “push my buttons?”
What do I do when I have more than one disruptive student at a time?
How do I deal with disrespectful students without losing credibility or authority with my other students?
How can I avoid power struggles?
When do I ask for help or get the administration involved?
How can I help students successfully re enter my class after they have been removed for disciplinary reasons?

I appreciate your desire to experience a seminar designed to help difficult, defiant, disruptive students find more success in school and life. I have designed this seminar to help you not only deal with challenging behaviors when they occur, but also to develop the skills and attitude to make it less likely that challenges will occur in the future.

I have worked successfully for many years with students who are angry, hostile, disruptive, and very challenging. I have designed this seminar to share the ideas, strategies, techniques, and methods I have seen work with even the most challenging, disrespectful students.

Please join me and discover practical, common sense ways that you can successfully deal with and help challenging students.

Sincerely,
Ernie Chapin
