TEACHING THE HIGH RISK CLASSROOM

Workshop Highlights

  • Develop a safe learning environment for all students, by learning specific strategies and adopting procedures to minimise disruptions and counteract adverse learning conditions.

  • Build positive relationships with your hard-to-reach students using effective communication and relationship-building techniques that promote a growth mindset.

  • Maximise learning and peer support by using pair structures that foster collaboration and teamwork, and by using brain-friendly teaching strategies that calm the brain and develop focus in distracted students.

  • Understand the teenage brain and its unique characteristics and differences from the brains of young children and adults, to create more effective teaching strategies and prevent misbehaviour.

  • Promote psychological resiliency and develop a deeper understanding of what triggers misbehaviour, by identifying the seven psychological needs that create misbehaviour.

  • Adopt preventative procedures to minimise disruptions and understand the step-by-step strategies to help disruptive students meet their needs responsibly.

Are you teaching in an environment where your students are facing exceptional challenges that make it difficult for them to succeed academically? Do you find yourself struggling to manage behaviour in the classroom, especially with students who are particularly challenging?

If so, you'll be excited to learn about our upcoming workshop, which will provide you with the tools and strategies you need to successfully teach in high-risk environments. We understand that students dealing with poverty, homelessness, behavioural issues, learning disabilities, learning English, or incarceration require specialised attention and support.

Our workshop combines the best practices from three of our top programmes: Cooperative Learning, Brain-Friendly Teaching, and WinWin Discipline. By merging these content areas, we provide a comprehensive approach to classroom management that will help you effectively teach your hardest-to-reach students.

Through our practical tools and procedures, you'll be able to implement Kagan Structures in your classroom and overcome the unique challenges that high-risk students present. Our workshop is designed to help teachers who are new to Kagan, as well as those who have experienced difficulties implementing the structures in exceptional circumstances.

Not only will this workshop benefit individual teachers, but it's even more powerful when the entire school or a school team implements these strategies. With our comprehensive approach, you'll be able to transform the school experience for high-risk students and help them achieve success academically and beyond.

So don't wait, sign up for our workshop today and take the first step towards teaching success!

  • “I learned so many good strategies for how to deal with high risk students that I can’t wait to get back to school. It occurred to me that many of these strategies are aimed at molding student’s thought patterns into positive beliefs about themselves, which will affect their behavior and foster empathy.”

    —JOSEPH JACQUOT, 9TH GRADE TEACHER

  • “Transform Your High-Risk Classroom was extremely beneficial to my classroom to see the step by step application, the research behind it, and how it can benefit my kids, classroom, and campus. Please keep this training! It is very needed of practical application of Kagan techniques for a high-risk classroom.”

    —JENNIFER HUGGINS, 5TH GRADE TEACHER

  • “Transform Your High-Risk Classroom was absolutely WONDERFUL! I have learned so much and can’t wait to use it in my classroom. I am much more positive going back.”

    —EMILY DAVIS, 2ND GRADE TEACHER

“In the classroom it is the teacher who ultimately makes the choice of how much students feel included or excluded. When we choose not to make concerted efforts to make our classrooms more inclusive, we have still made a choice. It is a choice to default to traditional individualistic and competitive learning that results in many students feeling disconnected.”

— Miguel Kagan, Kagan USA
