Special Bonus CD:
“Right Path, Wrong Path: Which One Is Your Student On?”

<----This new CD is a 55-minute exclusive interview conducted last month. Everything on this CD is completely new and not contained in any other product I have released. My goal in this interview was to take the gloves off and reveal some unvarnished truths that will help you and your students right away. Warning!  I don’t mince words on this CD, and you may find my views somewhat controversial, but I guarantee you this much: you will get at least three, “Wow-that’s-a-great-idea!” insights that you can use tomorrow to make a BIG difference.

Here is a sampling of what you'll discover on this exclusive interview recording:

• The three biggest reasons any child underachieves in school – how many apply to your students?  (Indeed, how many apply to you and me? – these three reasons also hold true in the workplace, at home, in relationships, and just about any other area in life.)

• Why becoming good at something can actually create a vicious cycle that becomes a child’s worst curse.  (And what to do about it before it becomes a problem in your classroom or something a parent wants to blame you for.)

• Have some schools really banned the game of “Tag” from schoolyards? – and what can we learn from that, if anything?

• Is it okay to negotiate with kids?  When do you know you’re negotiating too much?

• The four simple steps that ensure ANY child’s success in school.  (Hint: all four of these crucial steps can be accomplished before your students ever swing their backpacks through your classroom doorway.)

• The “Mad 10” and the “Do It Now Drill”: two fun ways to get your students to do something they almost never want to do – and have them laughing hard in the process and asking you to do it all over again!

• How to motivate the unmotivated child.

• How a ballpoint pen and a discarded junk mail envelope can help you or any student complete a writing assignment even in the face of writer's block or procrastination.

• Three specific activities that turn homework into an unwitting game that not only gets assignments completed like magic, but will bring you closer to your students as well.

• How regular visits to my local coffee shop improved my parenting and helped my daughter with her homework.  (Seriously, this is a brilliant idea, and that’s not just the caffeine talking!)

• Is it okay to teach your students that deadlines are flexible?  How to make sure your child completes a task in a reasonable amount of time.  (This concept is so good, you’ll be using it yourself to get more done at work in way less time.)

• How those crime science shows like “Colombo” and “CSI” can revolutionize the way you approach your teaching.  (This one idea alone will lower your blood pressure immediately.)

• “Can’t Do vs. Won’t Do” – how an uncomfortable moment in my eighth-grade classroom became one of the most profound lessons I learned as a teacher . . . and how you can use it to recognize crippling learning obstacles in any student before they become a real problem.

• The single most important activity a parent can do that will probably destroy every single preconception her or she has about your school.  (Warning: Pass this tip along to parents of your students at your own risk!  You'll know why when you hear this controversial but highly effective technique.)

• What’s more important – good grades or a likeable personality?  You might be surprised at my answer!
