250 Teach-To's For Classroom Success
No matter how good your curriculum, pacing guide, scripted program is organized or how prepared you are...all are irrelevant until your students are ready and willing to behave. Nearly three decades ago, Dr. Madeline Hunter and Coach John Wooden, both of UCLA, helped in the initial design of what the Center today calls the Time To Teach program. At the foundation of Time To Teach, is the notion of "teach-to's" - those behaviors and routines teachers must teach every child in order for his or her classroom to run smoothly. Over the past decade, the CTE has put together over 250 pages of classroom- and school-wide "teach to's" that highly effective teachers are using in diverse classroom settings across America, Canada, and abroad.


Time To Teach: Empowerment & Excellence in Every Classroom

Having trained tens of thousands of teachers who teach hundreds of thousands of students, we know that children and adolescents can and will be responsible for their own behavior and for their own learning, but these skills must be taught first. That's why we have been tirelessly promoting it for over twenty-seven years! We were initially guided by Dr. Madeline Hunter and Coach John Wooden, both of UCLA (quite a story). This book focuses on proven strategies for teaching these important skills to students, evaluating their successes, and certainly focuses on the art of delivering effective consequences when all else fails. Special techniques are outlined for preventing discipline problems and dealing effectively with those that do occur.
