Isn’t this true for all of us? I know I am more receptive to new ideas and even to personal and professional feedback when I know the person giving it genuinely cares.
I recently gave a webinar to a school in California that is looking to support their teachers when it comes to best practices for classroom management.
Our full day professional development training is already scheduled for August, and we’re meeting regularly this semester to prepare.
Our focus is a book study on unconditional positive regard for our students and our team.
Unconditional positive regard sends the message,
I care about you. You have value. You don’t have to do anything to prove it to me, and nothing’s going to change my mind.

I admire the school leadership so much for having an intentional vision for classroom and school cultures that are positive and calm.
And she knew that creating space now for the teachers to prepare, reflect, collaborate, and reimagine their classrooms and their responses to behaviors would make implementation easier.
Unconditional positive regard (UPR) is one of the five parts of the full-day classroom management training that we facilitate.
To learn more about our approach, and hear what teachers, administrators, and students think about this classroom management program, please check out this video we made in collaboration with St. Joachim in Madera, CA.
If you’re looking for new ways to create positive and calm classrooms, we are happy to share our ideas and strategies.
