"Excellent ideas; it’s always amazing to me how you deliver such awesome, effective ideas in such a short time. The greatness of it is that in a quick snippet of time, I can gain a new technique or procedure that helps bring order to my classroom!”
Tish Wodetzki, Primary School Teacher
"Your materials are truly amazing! Your theories and practice which underpin your teachings make so much sense - so much so, they should be bound in leather and issued to every trainee (and fully fledged) teacher who walks into a classroom!
Sumner Price, Secondary School Teacher
"Finally something concrete and applicable in real life. I’ve had enough of the people who never set their foot in a real classroom but know how everything should be done in theory. Thanks a million. As a fresh teacher, I find this invaluable.”

It was chosen as one of the most useful resources we have encountered to advise schools on ways to improve behaviour management and inclusion."

"Rob, Thank you for offering this webinar. I have been a school psychologist for 21 years. Your talent for distilling evidenced-based strategies and life experience into a simple approach is rare and so appreciated."
❝Something about what you do and how you do it works."
Every, and that's every contact I've had with Rob Plevin and Needs Focused Teaching has been a boon. Blogs, live training, videos, emails even printed books have done two things - made me think I can be a better teacher and made me believe I already am one. Rob's training, his passion, his willingness to care about what we do in the classroom stuns me every time. His work has changed my life. Which is weird because I'm an NLP coach, a counsellor and a mindfulness trainer. Something about what you do and how you do it works.❞

❝I never saw 15-year-olds move so fast to come back to order."
"I never saw 15-year-olds move so fast to come back to order. repeating myself, no prodding. The application of your tips has been wonderful! The first time I explained to my students that I would count backwards from ten when I was ready for them to come back from their group work, it worked like magic. It seems like you know the practical answers to classroom needs. Thank you.❞
