Time To Teach is an evidence based, highly successful set of strategies that tens of thousands of teachers are using and have been using for over four decades.
Our research and data spans back six decades. We have determined what strategies have proven to help children and teachers, which are verifiable and replicable and which are supported by all current and eminent researchers like Robert Marzano.
Our impact goes much further and deeper than on just student learning. In addition to an improvement in student behavior following our training, schools also report 1) a rise in teacher job satisfaction, 2) a rise in student scores, 3) a decrease in referrals, 4) a decrease in dropout rates and suspensions, 5) an improvement in the feeling tone in classrooms and throughout the building, and 6) that our strategies have allowed them to finally achieve the systemic cultural change they had been seeking for so long.
