ONLINE LEARNING MODULES

Coming soon: Individual pricing for these formerly institutional only modules

workshop scene

(with follow-up workshops)

Like you, I've suffered through painfully boring, content-empty professional development sessions. A couple of them were my own! ... But I kept reworking them until they were captivating on 4 levels: You do much of the preliminary work online so that you arrive at a shorter group session already possessing knowledge and skills on the topic; the group session starts at the point where you left off in your study, taking you even further; the entertainment value of the shorter workshop is stellar; and the material is applicable to the real-world classroom.

(Read the reviews of Dr. Mac's Workshops)

Don't sit through another sleep inducing workshop! asleep at desk

Tell your staff development people to get these training modules.
(What's
"the convincer"? ...Tell them that it will cost 10% to, at most, 25% of the amount they would spend to hire a consultant to come to speak ...AND the school or district gets to keep the workshop and use it for eternity!)

Educators deserve better. Indeed... They deserve the best!

Here it is ...with more to come.

The Essentials Of Positive & Effective
Classroom Management

Proficiency in classroom management is the lynchpin skill in teaching. NOTHING productive occurs in a educational settings until the teacher asserts himself or herself in a caring and competent manner. Unfortunately, MOST teachers receive absolutely no training in classroom and behavior management. Of those who do, the training is often inadequate to the task before them.

Dr. Mac's online study and follow-up workshop materials provide the knowledge & skills to become "The Captain of the Classroom".

Reaching & Teaching Students
from Areas of Long-Term Poverty

Students from low socio-economic status areas are likely to enter the schoolhouse with a behavioral code and value system that is oppositional to the middle class environment found therein. This contrary orientation is especially prominent in areas of multi-generational poverty.

By becoming familiar with the (until now) unwritten rules of this micro-culture, teachers (& others) can gain the respect and cooperation of their students, while instilling values and behaviors that will benefit them in school and tomorrow's workplace.

Dr. Mac's learning module provides crucial information and recommended practices for those who work in schools serving poor neighborhoods, addressing the motivational, behavioral, emotional, and social effects of living in areas of long term poverty.

Reaching & Teaching
African American Students At-Risk
(for school & life failure)

* * This module is highly recommended for schools and districts in which there is an achievement gap between groups of different heritages, and in settings where African American students are disproportionately receiving disciplinary penalties or special education placements.

African American young people, especially males, are overrepresented in disciplinary procedures and programs for students with behavior disorders. Much of the out-of-proportion findings can be attributed to assessment bias and lack of educator awareness of commonly found "cultural markers" in learning preferences and behavior patterns. At present, the ways we train teachers to teach and manage behavior are oftentimes contrary to what is "best practice" for African American students who display their traditional cultural markers.

This learning module addresses issues and practices related to the optimal education of these at-risk students. You'll find material that isn't available anywhere else! (Just try looking for it). Designed by Dr. Mac for educators and support personnel who work with African American youth, it informs participants of commonly found cultural characteristics in the African American culture. Via online study and a follow-up workshop, educational professionals become better able to discern the presence and influence of these "cultural markers" in both hypothetical and real school-based situations. Evidence-based practices that support our efforts to develop positive relationships and well-run classrooms full of motivated students are provided.
