Be the Thermostat, Not the Thermometer

It is crucial to be intentional and purposeful in setting the culture of your school or classroom. We have to be the Thermostat and not the thermometer. There is a clear and distinct difference. The thermometer reads what is going on, how the students interact, what the parents say, and how the building/classroom flows. The Thermostat transforms what is going on, sets expectations, continues adjusting for student interactions, informs parents of what is going on, and initiates actions to set the culture of the building or classroom.

Ask yourself, are you the THERMOSTAT or the THERMOMETER? If you ready to be the thermostat, Dr. Young will inspire you stories and action steps to help you BE THE THERMOSTAT in your classroom and school.

Dream It, See It, Achieve It

Let Dr. Tron Young guide you through the process of implementing Individual Academic Plans, a system designed to create personalized plans for academic, social-emotional, and behavioral development. In this workshop, you'll discover how an individual academic plan helps students set goals that promote academic perseverance, self-assessment, and weekly reflection to track progress. With the individual academic plan, students can chart a course for growth and development both in and outside the classroom. Their futures will be so bright with the plan that students will be ready to take charge of their learning and progress. With the Individual Academic Plan in place, teachers can work with students to prepare for student-led parent-teacher conferences, opening up new avenues for parent and student engagement. These conferences provide an opportunity for students to showcase their progress and achievements, take ownership of their learning, and set goals for the future.
