[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the principal who posted above.  This looks like a great program.  Does it have to be implemented school wide?  Can it be used by non-home room based teachers like me?  I only see my students for 45 min blocks.  Thanks![/quote]

Principal here--yes anyone can use it. It's designed for K-6, but I believe that there are middle school components being added. What happens in many schools is that teachers begin to get trained on their own, and then colleagues notice how their classes seem to run much better and kids/teachers seem happier. Then more begin to take it, and then hopefully you hit that tipping point where you feel more like an RC school than not. You can hear it in the hallways by how teachers address children. The culture shifts and practices like stop lights and prize boxes are looked down upon.

If you're in FCPS, there are plenty of Academy offerings in the summer. It's one of the best trainings (4.5 days) you'll attend. And it's really fun. :)[/quote]
