Classroom Management Trilogy
Michael Grinder's Classroom Management Trilogy is a collection of effective patterns gathered from over 6,000 classroom observations. The Trilogy is based on the idea that management techniques only work when there are relationships. This concept is cemented with his mantra, "We are unwittingly in love with the influence of power – we need to be in love with the power of influence."
ENVoY, Your Personal Guide to Classroom Management
How to preserve relationships while managing. The four capital letters in the title stand for Educational Non-Verbal Yardsticks. The book categorizes techniques into four parts: Getting Their Attention, Teaching, Transition to Seatwork, and Seatwork. While the book has 31 skills, the top 7 are found in Chapter One. Research shows that using these skills will add hours to learning. In addition, it cuts both referrals to the office and requests for special education testing in half. This is the starting point for the trilogy. Click here to purchase. Bundles also available. |

A Cat in the Doghouse
As educators learn ENVoY, they often realise that they can’t presume that they have a relationship to preserve. A Cat in the Doghouse focuses on how to establish relationships with the hard-to-reach students. Transferring the reader's knowledge of household pets to students provides immediate insights. Dog students are cooperative – they come when they are called. Cat students are independent – they wait to find out, "What’s in it for me?" This book guides the educator to be flexible without compromising on values. There is a special section on students from poverty. All concepts have complimentary worksheets on the Michael Grinder & Associates website. Click here to purchase. Bundles also available.

A Healthy Classroom
How to utilise relationships amongst students. This book is for ambitious educators who have mastered the above concepts and are ready to move beyond a high dependence on their teacher. The framework creates a learning atmosphere where each student is accepted as a human being and at the same time, each student is held accountable for their behaviour. It is cross-culturally sensitive. Michael likes to separate the word healthy into two syllabuses so the phrase becomes, Heal Thy Classroom. Complimentary worksheets are available.
