Ten deceptively simple, but super powerful motivational thoughts - that if habitually applied - will turn any mind into an automatic learning machine! Modern design, clear, colourful and beautifully presented, the perfect posters for your inspirational display! Encourage these 10 inspirational, motivational thoughts to become new attitudes and cultivated habits. Refer to them often, enjoy.

Here's how the very simple, but powerful pyramid is used: 1. When you want to improve a student's behaviour, refer to the part of the pyramid that the student needs to change. E.g. If you notice a student sitting in a way that doesn't demonstrate that they have their full attention given to the lesson, then remind them of the importance of their posture and get them to correct it. 2. Regularly refer to these three aspects of learning, and encourage students to be aware of how they use each aspect, because they cover every base. As you know, no behaviour management strategy will ever truly work unless you 'own' it. Remember, in any argument, the person with the most certainty, will win. You need to have the certainty within, and lead from your awareness of what makes people behave the way they do in the first place, and it's always these three things: 1. What they are focussed on. 2. How they are using their body (posture), and 3. What thoughts (and questions) they are saying to themselves inside. I designed this 'Learning Pyramid' in this way because it will help you remember these three foundations of human behaviour; keep an eye out for each of these with the individuals in your class and when you see any or all of them drift off target, bring them back in. Try asking, "Are you focussed on the task?" "How would you sit if you were?" and "What questions have you got about what we're doing now?" Three deceptively simple questions, but aimed right at the behaviour centres in the brain. This technique is simple, immediate and easy to communicate -and it encourages - and teaches - how students can create a learning state of mind - try it for yourself, and then with your class. And because you've read to the end, if you want to know more about creating your own sense of certainty - and be in control of your behaviour management, without stress - have a look at my other program The StressFreeClassroom, it's the best of what took me 20 years to learn - condensed so you can learn it in under an hour. All the best. Steve.
