Dear Colleague:
After 50 years of providing high quality professional learning to teachers, paraeducators, support staff, and school administrators, we wanted to take a moment to explain just why we offer professional learning in so many different formats. The guide at the right on page 3 will help direct you to make the “just right” decisions for your particular school, your particular staff, and your particular students.
When it comes to instruction, it has been said time and again that “a one-size-fits-all, regardless of needs, is a sure route to one-size-fits-few and poor training results.”* No doubt this is true. There are times when professional learning is best delivered in small bites over time in the form of micro-learning—such as THE MASTER TEACHER Weekly Pd PROGRAM. Within this time-tested program, we also know some teachers learn best by reading the printed word, others like the convenience of reading it on their phones or tablets, and still others learn best by listening. And that’s why THE MASTER TEACHER Weekly Pd PROGRAM is now offered in all three formats—with a podcast being the newest addition this year.
Other times, more in-depth training is required. Teachers may experience a void in their skill set where training in a particular area, such as behavior or the inclusion of students with special needs, is concerned. And, paraeducators may need extensive in-depth training to become highly qualified. That’s where our many different elearning libraries can become “just the ticket” to bundle for your “just right” PD plan. In addition, within these libraries we recognize the need for practitioners to be able to access the help they need, when they need it, 24/7. Too, we provide a combination of PowerPoint and video-based formats to meet various learning needs. There are also occasions or planned inservice days when in-person professional learning is called for. Our PDXpert Ready-to-Use Workshops enable you to use in-house personnel to deliver high quality professional learning with minimal preparation time. And, when you want an expert for a special presentation, we can meet that need too.
Books and study guides are also a mainstay of the training we provide—but with a special twist. Most of our books are organized combining a series of short modules with journaling activities after each module to reinforce and embed the learning. Or, our ever-popular You Can Handle Them All is organized “cookbook” style, giving specific steps for handling 124 student behaviors from the Agitator to the Whiner—making finding just the right solutions and avoiding the wrong actions with each behavior easier and more rewarding.
After 50 years, we have learned a thing or two about what works and how to provide the kind of training that fits your particular needs. We invite you to read about each offering in this catalog, visit our website www.masterteacher.com, and then call one of our educational consultants to give you a free demo on one or more of our programs. Just let us know how we can make your PD training “just right.”

Teachers are so overwhelmed with other issues on a daily basis that adding professional development requirements to their list of tasks is daunting.

Morale is so much better, not to mention skills the teachers are learning and using in the classroom the very next day. — Kaye McKinley, Principal Liza Jackson Preparatory School, Florida

Why
Micro-Learning PD is So Effective! To help learners keep pace with their professional knowledge and achieve goals in a way that accounts for individual needs, experts recommend micro-learning, which involves “small but complete learning experiences” that happen in “short bursts” or “bite-size” pieces.1, 2, 3 Effective micro-learning offers both examples and practice to “help learners recognize the opportunities to transfer their learning” and quickly put it to use.1, 3 If learners know how they can use information or ideas, they are more likely to do so efficiently. Learners benefit even more when bite-size lessons are readily available and easy to access. This lets them fit training into their busy schedules and allows them to focus on their specific learning needs.3
Bite-size lessons make learning retention easier, because they offer “just key facts and relevant information” instead of fluff and filler information.3 Focusing on just a few learning objectives and takeaways avoids overloading learners—it’s easier to take in information “in chunks rather than all at once.”3 Learning in short stretches complements the “natural energy ebb and flow” and “natural learning rhythms” of learners.3 The fact is, teachers will learn more and retain more in 7 minutes than they will in 1 or 2 hours.

Perfect for veteran teachers who are ready to take their practice to the next level
Master Educator Series Future-Focused Teaching and Learning for Teachers & PLCs
While we don’t know exactly what the future will look like for students, we do know it will be very different than the present or the past. Yet, schools and classrooms remain relatively unchanged. It is vital that we compel our teachers to think in new ways if we want to truly prepare students for what lies ahead. You also have teachers right now that you know need to be challenged in a new way. These veteran teachers want to grow and may be your best advocates for promoting better teaching practices, but the traditional subjects for professional learning aren’t for them. It is for these reasons and more that we developed the Master Educator Series. These thought provoking, video-based courses: • Ask and answer crucial questions related to teaching and learning for today and the future. • Provide higher levels of learning and promote deep reflection. • Encourage teachers to engage in journaling around their own practice. • Bring new insights to teachers through video and storytelling that they can relate to and which compels them to want to learn more. • Inspire teachers to stay in their profession and make a difference for their school and students. • Lead teachers to better their practice as a result of what they learn.

4 Essential Online Courses
Student Behavior with
Understanding Behavior Before You Can Discipline
11
HOURS O F
COURSE WORK
You don’t need to be a psychiatrist to handle student behavior, but you do need to understand the purpose of a student’s misbehavior in order to correct the behavior and be an effective teacher with all students. These four courses will hone the behavior management skills of teachers who, in turn, will make a difference for the students who need them most.
COURSE 1
How Student Needs and Teacher Attitudes Influence Behavior When faced with behavior challenges, you must know two things: yourself and students. In truth, we don’t teach subjects—we teach students. This course explains the three variables in every discipline problem, the primary and secondary needs of every student, and the four primary causes of misbehavior. COURSE 2
Positioning Yourself to Strategically Handle Behavior
Benefits: • Content-rich, self-paced modules in short increments. • Teachers can earn CEU credits* with 11 hours of seat time. *Understanding Behavior Courses are generally eligible for CEU credits; however, please verify with your school administration or state PD office prior to enrolling in a course.
To effectively manage misbehavior, you must position yourself correctly as an advocate for students. This course prepares you mentally and professionally to handle unacceptable behavior and change it to acceptable behavior. This course explains 12 attitudes and strategies to use in effectively managing behavior. COURSE 3
Effectively Changing Inappropriate Behavior to Appropriate Behavior Part 1 For behavior challenges, it’s important to know the actions to take in addition to the actions to avoid. Knowing the do’s and don’ts of your actions is critical because your relationship with one student affects your relationship with all students. This course provides 14 actions to use, specific to the misbehavior and the misbehaving student, and includes the actions to avoid. COURSE 4
Effectively Changing Inappropriate Behavior to Appropriate Behavior Part 2 This course adds 13 strategic actions to your repertoire of skills so you can handle misbehavior and experience the rewards of being effective with misbehaving students and the class.

Voices from the Field:
What is a Master Teacher? The DeBruyn Institute for Teaching Excellence conducted a one-of-a-kind research study to determine the beliefs and characteristics that define a Master Teacher. Superintendents, principals, and teachers all agree on the: • 13 beliefs that all Master Teachers hold in common. • 69 characteristics, in the order of their importance, that a teacher develops in becoming a Master Teacher. Research reveals how the characteristics fall into each of the five key domains of teaching: • Foundational Characteristics: The vital prerequisite attitudes, beliefs, and skills a teacher must have to be effective with students. • Skill-Based Characteristics: The core skills a teacher needs in order to motivate and engage students. • Accomplished Characteristics: Skills based upon teacher “striving” and “will” that move students to higher levels of learning and capture more students in the learning net.
• Transformational Characteristics: Characteristics that help form relationships outside the classroom—with parents, colleagues, and administrators— that have the power to transform students’ motivation and ability to succeed. • Master Teacher Characteristics: Teacher characteristics and behaviors that provide leadership for other teachers and the profession.
The companion study guide provides activities and reflection questions teachers can complete as individuals, in pairs, or in groups to develop the beliefs and skills necessary to achieve professional growth and become a master teacher. Book & Study Guide Set #121322 $33.95 ISBN: 978-1-58992-456-7
Causing Others to Want Your Leadership… for Administrators Whether you are a superintendent, principal, director, or department head, Causing Others to Want Your Leadership...for Administrators provides valuable insights into leading a professional staff. It answers the question, “How can I cause others to want to accomplish the work of our school?” After examining the reasons and motivations behind teacher behavior, it provides concrete leadership suggestions based on sound practices that you can use immediately.
