SCHOOL LEADERS...
Are you seeing your staff disillusioned, demotivated, or overwhelmed by the daily challenges of behaviour and classroom control?
Are your teachers crying out for practical strategies that go beyond theory — and actually work in today’s classrooms?
If so, you're not alone — and you're not without options.
At Needs Focused Teaching, we’ve been equipping educators with proven, practical classroom management and engagement strategies since 2003. This work was born out of 15 years on the front lines with hard-to-reach, high-need students aged 8–18 — and refined in thousands of schools across the UK and beyond.
Over the last two decades, we’ve developed tested, teacher-approved systems to:
- Manage behaviour swiftly
- Reduce confrontation
- Gain respect from tough students
- Create positive class communities
- Improve relationships between students
- Raise engagement and participation in lessons
- Quickly build positive, trusting teacher-student bonds with hard-to-reach students
- And much more.
We’ve delivered this training in schools, universities, and local authorities worldwide, and we’ve seen the results first-hand — not just in classrooms, but across whole school cultures.
Many school leaders tell us this training has:
-
Transformed morale in their staffroom
-
Dramatically improved behaviour across year groups
-
Helped them retain great teachers who were on the brink of burnout
And now, we’re delighted to be able to offer these tools and resources in one complete, school-wide digital package:

"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.”
Jasna P, Secondary School Teacher
"Rob, 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.”

The Engagement Process:
This easy-to-implement set of strategies is specifically for raising student engagement and motivation. You can use these to quickly and dramatically improve your students' moods and have them happily participating in your lessons. Best of all, these strategies are quick and easy to implement - you'll be able to apply them in your class tomorrow! You'll learn strategies to make topics more relevant and interesting, questioning techniques that virtually guarantee every student will want to answer, how to use drama and role play activities to engage reluctant learners, fun ways to reinforce and consolidate learning, they way to use rewards to promote INTRINSIC motivation instead of simple bribes, how to give feedback that promotes new learning, the hidden reasons behind a lack of motivation and what to do about it plus much, much more. You'll also hear the story of the woman who failed her school exams yet went on to become one of the UK's highest paid lawyers - and how you can use this principle to IMMEDIATELY improve the attitude and motivation of your least motivated, least interested students. This is seriously one of our best training programs - you don't want to miss it!
The Prevention Process:
Incredibly simple, remarkably effective - prevention is the key to relaxed, stress-free teaching. Needs Focused is based on the principle that the majority of classroom management problems can be prevented by consistently integrating a few fundamental, key strategies. In this short, practical video training we explain the 7 key preventive strategies and how they will help ensure behaviour problems are kept to a minimum. That way, more learning can take place and you can enjoy your job again!
The Response Process:
The aim of this training is to enable you to respond to classroom behaviour problems more confidently and more skillfully. You'll learn a little-known method for remaining totally calm in difficult situation so that you can respond effectively without losing your temper, or doing/saying something you later wish you hadn't. You'll be amazed how effective (and potentially life-changing) this simple technique is. You'll learn a stepped procedure for dealing with students who are displaying extreme behaviour, how to de-escalate confrontation and crises, how to deal with problems at classroom level - and why it is critical that you do, why after-school detentions are a total waste of time - and what to do instead, The Clean Slate - our unique process for 'starting over' with very difficult groups, The Amazing 3-Requests Technique to replace chaos with consistency and calm, the 2-minute follow-up, the Ten Minute Detention, the Low-Level Disruption eliminator and much, MUCH more.
The Relationship Process:
Teachers with relationships at the core of their practice can go into virtually any classroom, in any school, and succeed with even the most belligerent, difficult students. After all, it doesn’t take a genius to conclude that students will generally behave better and work harder for teachers they know, like and trust. The Relationship Process explains a proven, simple method for building positive relationships with ALL your students (even those who seem to hate you right now).

"You saved my life and my career..."
"You saved my life and my career. I was polishing the printout of my resignation letter when I stumbled upon your videos earlier in the year. I thought to myself, "Alright, there's no way any of that will work in reality."
I am glad to have been proven wrong! Not only was it super simple to implement with my class from the black lagoon of behavior misfits, within just a few days I had ZERO issues.
Folks in the SPED department were stunned.
I was infinitely impressed with my students, myself and Rob Plevin's methodology.
The students and I were in a groove in no time and and a few parents popped out of the woodworks to thank me for inspiring their children.
Some of them even say that they love me now.
Wow...I cannot believe I was going to let myself get in the way of such a wondrous career. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❞

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.❞

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.
