What results can you expect?

Teachers who apply this holistic, needs-based methodology in their classrooms (our methods are used in thousands of schools worldwide) tend to quickly see the following changes taking place...

Deeper connections with hard-to-reach students. Do you find yourself frustrated when your disengaged, disinterested students won't respond to you, no matter what you do? Most challenging young people feel let down by adults - often their own parents in many cases! They are usually desperate for an adult who understands them and  earns their trust. When you learn how to do that, you'll see an immediate improvement in their responsiveness and attitude.

More respect from challenging students. One of the most common issues we get asked about by teachers who are struggling is that they don't get respect from their students. We get it. It can be so frustrating to put your time and effort into trying to reach and teach these children only to have them throw it all back in your face - or totally disregard everything you say and do. That said, it really is possible to turn this around very quickly. The Needs Focused Teaching approach prioritises trusting relationships and encourages cooperation and respect, without resorting to punishments, bribes and control. We provide the environment, conditions and guidance to encourage students to be accountable for their behaviour. 

LOTS of extra time and far less stress.  Be honest, how much time do you spend dealing with unwanted behaviour problems? By that I mean preparing for and trying to prevent them, dealing with them in the moment and then mopping up the mess afterwards. Most teachers tell me they spend half their day involved in sorting out behaviour issues in one way or another. Do you really understand what this is doing to your health and happiness? Do you really want to do this for the rest of your working life? Because, being brutally frank with you, the situation isn't going to change until YOU change. You need to learn the skills which make the difference. And when you do, you can look forward to having more free time and a lot less stress.  Many teachers tell us they rediscover the JOY of teaching after applying this system!

Better student results. You trained to be a teacher to help young people learn your subject.  So you're probably frustrated about spending so much of your day fighting with students instead of being able to teach those who want to learn. This is a really important point to grasp... When you learn how to connect with your students (really connect with them) you can look forward to them ALL wanting to learn! Imagine how much easier and more rewarding that will be. 

Fewer behaviour problems, faster solutions. The main aim of The Needs Focused Teaching Method is to prevent problems. You'll be amazed how quickly the number of issues you face decreases once you apply the system. But we also offer fast-acting, proven solutions for the few problems which do occur. You'll learn how to swiftly redirect or manage incidents with less escalation and less hostility from even the most damaged and aggressive young people. Our interventions mean you can gain respect when you deal with incidents and issues instead of causing animosity.
