OPTION 1:

Pre-Con 1: Your Classroom Management Roadmap Power Moves for Daily Success

Every teacher knows the moment when the classroom starts to slip off-task chatter, long transitions, attention fading, and the pull to manage instead of teach. This high-impact Pre-Con tackles classroom management at its root: instruction.

Grounded in Whole Brain Teaching and practical Tier I practices, André Deshotel will show you exactly how to build a classroom environment where engagement is high, behavior is predictable, and learning stays at the center.

You’ll Learn How To:

Lock in attention from the start with engagement routines that eliminate drift

Use predictable systems that reduce confusion and disruption

Build transitions so smooth they run themselves

Redirect behavior without losing momentum

Create a calm, highly engaged classroom where instruction does the heavy lifting

YOU'LL LEAVE WITH READY-TO-IMPLEMENT ROADMAPS THAT BOOST ENGAGEMENT, MINIMIZE BEHAVIORAL FRICTION, AND MAKE TEACHING FEEL LIGHTER, MORE JOYFUL, AND FAR MORE EFFECTIVE.

Pre-Con 2: Your Instructional Coaching Roadmap–Evaluating, Supporting, & Coaching Tier I Practices

For the first time in GYTO history, we’re offering a half-day intensive designed specifically for instructional coaches, deans, APs, and leaders who coach teachers.

If you are responsible for supporting instruction on your campus, this Pre-Con delivers the clarity, structure, and systems you need to make your coaching cycles more intentional, more effective, and more sustainable.

OPTION 2: Hope Will Guide

Your Through:

How to evaluate classrooms using the Five to Thrive lens

How to identify breakdowns in Tier I instruction before they become school-wide issues

How to design coaching cycles that are clear, targeted, and aligned to outcomes

How to coach teachers into consistent Tier I practices using small, measurable steps

How to ensure your feedback actually leads to change—not confusion

You’ll Walk Away With:

A coaching framework that strengthens instruction campus-wide and gives every teacher the support they need to grow.
