Michael Grinder & Associates

This is a rare opportunity to spend a day with a pioneer of classroom management. Michael Grinder taught for 17 years on 3 levels of education. He was runner-up for Washington State Teacher of the year.  He has written over a dozen books based on his 6,000 classroom observations.

Michael is the leading advocate of increasing educators’ ability to recognize and respond to non-verbal patterns of communication. This is especially     important because increasingly, we find ourselves educating populations that come from a culture other than ours. You will leave with an increase in cross-cultural sensitivities. 

You will walk away with how to:

• Recognize the changes in our student population.
• Understand a parent conference; special attention will be given to a hostile parent conference.
• Use Michael’s most important discovery – not over-using eye contact.
• Identifying students, colleagues and people in your private world as to their degree of accommodation (dog-oriented) vs. independence (cat-oriented).
• Establish a working relationship with independent cats in your world.
• Handle situations where you feel stretched by an oblivious cat.
• Use Michael’s trilogy of classroom management:
• ENVoY
• A Healthy Classroom
• A Cat in the Dog House
• Increase your energy by decontaminating school and home life
• Identify your own tendencies as an educator; know when to be yourself and when to control your impulses.
• Identifying VAK (learning Styles)

Michael’s style is inspiring and humorous–your learning will be practical and long-lasting.
