It’s every teacher’s greatest concern:
Non-Compliance!
(It was my #1 concern too until I mastered the skills to prevent it.)
For some, it brings forth thoughts of personal and professional insecurity. For others, it sparks feelings ranging from irritation to rage.
That passive failure or defiant refusal of our students to engage in directed actions takes many forms, and the kids who display them are described by many names:
Seemingly opposites, apathetic responses and outward refusals are really flip sides of the same behavioral coin. In one manner of looking at this connection, that’s a BIG benefit, because non-compliance of any sort responds to the same approach: Thoughtful, practiced and respectful phrasing by the adult.
I can see the eyes rolling in some folks’ heads right now as they’re thinking: “C’mon, McIntyre. I’ve got persistently non-cooperative kids in my classroom, and you think that saying things differently is going to make a difference?!” YES!… an ENORMOUS difference. And I invite you to watch me prove it in today’s video… for free.

Despite any concerns you might hold that addressing non-compliance with verbal phrasing might be the educational equivalent of being “soft on crime”, I’ll demonstrate to you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it’s not being soft… Rather, it’s being smart.
Smart? Yes, because we cannot mandate compliance, we can only invite it.
Punishment hasn’t worked with our non-compliant kids... We’ve already tried it. Often!
Let’s stop doing more of what isn’t working. In the words heard long-ago by new recruits to the cavalry corps: “If you horse dies, dismount!” We need to find a new disciplinary steed; one with a positive temperment that moves us forward quickly and steadily on the professional development open range. That horse’s name is “Verbal Aikido”.
"Verbal Aikido"? Yes. Today, you have the opportunity to become proficient in the oral version of the martial arts form that allows one to strongly stand up for oneself without causing harm to the opponent.
You’ll become skilled in forms of phrasing that subdue the behavior, not the spirit of the youngster. You’ll be assertive, but never aggressive.
Here’s what you get with today’s B-List update:
-Work in-the-moment to solve the problem
-Promote cooperative & compliant behavior
-Model appropriate interaction & exude professionalism
-Build self-control (in our students AND us)
-Build & strengthen positive connections with our kids
That last point is essential in reaching and teaching kids who are renowned in their schools for being oppositional and contrary. This double webinar (Yes. You get two of them!) provides easy-to-implement positive and respectful techniques that strengthen adult-student interpersonal relationships. Improving your connections with oppositional and contrary kids is essential for creating the learning climate that you seek in your classroom.
Yes, you know it's going to be great, but don't click here until you've seen the video!
I know that I’m not telling you anything new when I say that it’s human nature to cooperate with, and work harder for people you like, admire, trust, and respect. These highly efficacious Verbal Aikido strategies work because they’re connected to the greatest of our human psychological needs: To be emotionally connected with others. The Verbal Aikido phrasology, found only in Dr. Mac's webinar video series, builds and strengthens those fruitful interpersonal bonds. You then create more cooperative kids.
Kids have to like the messenger if they’re going to listen to the message!
Becoming adroit at these verbal Aikido strategies means that you can be nice AND powerful at the same time… AUTHORITATIVE (not authoritarian), MASTERFUL in your guidance, and compassionate in your approach. Your enhanced skill base builds feelings of community, team, and esprit de corps in your classroom.
By the end of these two webinar sessions, you will be skilled in:
1. Avoiding verbal blunders & counter-productive wording.
2. Making use of effective replacements for the contra-indicated phrasing.
3. Using verbal approaches that build & strengthen positive bonds with students
4. Instilling thoughtful, reflective self-control in your most errant pupils.
