Rules of Re-engagement: Redeeming & Re-engaging Difficult Students – Single User

Description

Grades 6-12

As administrators/educators, in the current world, we face very challenging days with:

Increased office referrals

Illegal drug use on campus

Defiant students

Physical attacks

Gang related crime/violence

Relational aggression

Other disruptions to the learning environment

Our schools appear to be a battlefield without the military level strategy or budget. How do we put the focus back on education and engage the most difficult students in academic learning? We cannot merely rely on alternative placements or special programs in response to students who habitually exhibit disturbing behavior. Unfortunately, we as educators often unwittingly escalate disruptive behavior by making critical mistakes in our approaches to these difficult students.’

In this tactic-paced 90-minute webinar, Dr. Ed Orszulak will highlight powerful strategies — developed from his research and experience as a principal and consultant — that enable educators to transform their school climates and re-engage students who can drain the spirit of even the most passionate educator. These powerful strategies have been developed on certain fundamental principles of effective instructional relationships. Understanding these strategies will build immediate competence and confidence in educators to be able to handle even the most difficult student challenge.

In this webinar, Dr. Orszulak will draw upon his book, The Redemption Approach: 5 Timeless Principles for Re-Engaging Tough Kids in School. ’This resource helps educators:
