… and you still feel like your classroom is in chaos.

WHY? What can you do now?

It IS possible to be highly effective teacher and be kind, compassionate and have a highly productive, peaceful classroom. Energetics can help make it happen. 2021 is the YEAR!

You know you aren’t a perfect teacher but you feel you have teaching skills well in hand to be effective academically. The newest training models are excellent tools you have used. And yet, you hear yourself saying it’s not enough, and there is nothing else that you feel will work except funding for more professional adult support for when you get back in your classrooms.

You know that if you must use physical force, you can’t do that. You aren’t the type of person who can yell, scream or physically break up fights. It’s not in your nature and it’s just too much to ask of any teacher.  You worry about what we are teaching our kids to endure when it comes to danger?!

In the real world when danger is happening, we would run away and get help; but in our classrooms we are teaching children to stay, and they are internalizing it, so if it happens out in the world what will our kids do?

You’re stressed about more and more parents literally giving up with homework and remote learning. Parents, maybe like yourself, are juggling so many balls in the air. When adding to their to-do list something that their child didn’t do well in school, it can be daunting.  When parents are unable to help, many teachers feel they must carry the ball by themselves, creating an energetic chasm that is only widening.

You’re concerned that we are not challenging all of your students enough.  There is fear that making higher-achieving students team up with struggling learners is going to hold them back and bore them.

You are not professionally trained to help today’s traumatized kids!  You may be questioning, “At what point do you want me to teach, and at what point to be a therapist?  “How am I to juggle all those things? I’ve already got a full plate. Are you going to take something off so I can make room for more training?”

You are overwhelmed with so many behavior plans for so many students.  If you must put so many students on positive behavioral plans gathering so much data every single day, you know you won’t have time to 1) teach the curriculum, 2) check in with your students, 3) build relationships and 4) be taking care of yourself so you won’t end up with compassion fatigue.

Believe it or not, you’re not alone. You can break the cycles of failure in your struggling students.

And it’s simpler (and far less stressful) than you think.

Thousands of people have felt the same confusion, overwhelm and exhaustion you may be feeling right now and found a way forward with my field-tested strategies associated with my Energetics System now adapted for Teachers.

Follow me on my new Facebook page this year for more great tips!

There is a better way to bring peaceful engagement to your classroom (virtually or in-person), but it’s up to you (and only YOU!) to stop waiting.  Waiting for funding, waiting for someone, somewhere out there, to help you.  Make time to understand how your energy is in fact, influencing the outcomes you are getting.  You’ve got to make time to save time.
