"Once you have been exposed to the GO FOR IT! Program, it never ends. As teachers we face many challenges, from students not turning in their homework to the display of impulsive/inappropriate behaviors and low self-esteem. GO FOR IT! is the answer for me because it is simple and it works! It uses time tested strategies with practical applications, and when worked properly, it is fail safe! You can see results immediately.
"For example, one of my students with extremely impulsive behavior corrected it within two weeks once she used her Change Cards (Key 3). Several others started handing in their homework, immediately, when they started tracking their wise choices (Key 4). Then there were a couple of young men who did things they didn't think they could because they remembered to visualize their goals and they believed in themselves (Keys 2, 5 and 6).
"Teachers are constantly challenged with getting their students to participate in their own learning and to do well on tests. GO FOR IT! is their answer. It is a win-win, hands-on, researched program that addresses individual needs...and it works! I've led two GO FOR IT! Teacher Trainings this past month and have seen the excitement teachers have when they complete the training. One of the teachers told the class he had signed up because he wanted to be a better teacher. He said he was leaving a better man.
"This GO FOR IT! certification program for teachers provides educators and their students with life-long skills they need to be successful in school_and in all of life. They just need to GO FOR IT!"
