Teacher Effectiveness TrainingThis life-changing program was created by Dr. Thomas Gordon, a clinical psychologist, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997, 1998, and 1999. Using these communication skills in the classroom has shown to increase instructional time due to a decreased need to address negative behavior – letting teachers teach instead of police. Teachers have such a powerful influence over so many students, the responsibility is immense. We are so excited about T.E.T. as we see it as a tool for improving entire communities as more teachers are able to do what they love.

Each class participant will receive a set of T.E.T. materials which includes a copy of the T.E.T. book, a T.E.T. Workbook, a Participant Certificate, and a copy of Dr. Gordon's Credo. This is a 30-hour program. Our group classes are taught as an ten-week series of three-hour classes. |
