With the focus on building and maintaining positive relationships and developing an effective learning environment, we are reminded of our power as teachers and the necessity for continuous self-reflection about the way we relate to students. Dr Rich Allen, Educational Psychologist,Teacher, Speaker and Author Providing opportunities for self-reflection and consideration of the impact we have on our students and the power we have to shape young minds, Habits of Highly Effective Teachers is a timely reminder of what is important in the classroom. Everything in education comes back to relationships and by emphasising this aspect, the book can help teachers to refocus when there are the inevitable classroom challenges. Margaret Thorsborne and Peta Blood.Implementing Restorative Practices in Schools This is a book for all teachers, from beginning to experienced. Between these pages lies helpful hints and tips, supported by extensive research, that anyone can implement in their classroom. Maries book has helped me rediscover the enjoyment and connection in teaching, as her strategies help me to plan my reactions to behaviours as much as I plan my lesson content.

This is a comprehensive and well written book that I have utilised over and over again in my classroom management. Im so grateful to have found something so useful and incredibly easy to understand. Without a doubt the best teacher-help book I have ever read! Stephanie White, Classroom teacher PRAISE FOR THE WORKSHOP, HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEACHERS Thank you for an incredibly interesting, beneficial and highly practice based course. You really get what teachers come up against and give us effective, new strategies to implement in our classrooms and schools. This has been a very valuable, affirming skills workshop for me. I cant wait for the next one.

Thank you for an effective Professional Development workshop! Thank you, Marie and Tanya! Susan Barta, Rouse Hill [Habits of Highly Effective Teachers course] distilled down the essence of the research and academic reading and made it accessible and available. The workshops are a wonderful blend of delivery and content combined with hands-on activities. Everyone across the whole range of the school gets something they can take away. The follow up is fantastic! No other company works to provide emails and follow up to keep everything on track. Ian Casey, Assistant Principal, Fairfield PS We got a lot out of the workshop today. It affirmed a lot of the things we are doing well, but it also taught us about managing children with difficult behaviours in the classroom using different strategies.

I would highly recommend the value of attending a workshop or having Marie come to your school. Lucia Gargaro, Principal Goolgowi PS Even if you are a really experienced teacher, these workshops are cutting edge. Marie keeps up-to-date with the latest research so that even the most experienced teacher will be able to refresh some of their ideas and strategies.
