The SCAI is Uniquely Capable of Supporting the Improvement Process

As consultants coaching schools on real transformation, the SCAI instrument is by far the best tool. Instruments that use Likert scales do not give enough information and are not practical to the change process. In contrast, the SCAI gives specific information that easily lends itself to developing specific strategies for positive change. Teachers easily understand the results of the survey and feel empowered to make changes once the see the results of the instrument. DRIVE Consulting

Study Results: Transformative Classroom Management Practices vs Traditional Practices TCM classroom management practices were shows to reflect higher levels of student achievement when compared to other methods. Achievement test scores from 300 schools are graphed in the figure below. The vertical axis of the graph represents the quality of the classroom management practices at each school as measured by the ASSC School Climate and Function Instrument. What the scatter plot graph clearly indicates is that the closer the practices at the school were to TCM/transformative practices (1 = low quality, 5 = transformative/high quality) the higher the achievement at that school (as measured by the CA API, 200-1000). The study found a +0.8 correlation between classroom management practices and student achievement.

A transformative mindset is simply an intention to do away with the self-limiting references (values, narratives, beliefs, conditioning, etc.) that we are using currently and then opening ourselves to discovering more of the potential within us, our colleagues and our students, and then finding and applying the actions and practices that are most likely to make that happen.

Transformative Classroom Management (TCM) Compares Favorably

As seen in comparison table, the fundamental principles and practical explanations included in Transformative Classroom Management (TCM) compare favorably to other approaches available today. TCM can be used in any school to increase the function and quality of any classroom or the school as a whole. It is practical and provides step-by-step explanations. One feature that makes TCM unique is its clear and concrete explanation for how to create the high function student centered (vs. teacher-centered) classroom community. TCM provides a roadmap for improvement, regardless of the starting point. Applying the content of TCM to any classroom will support the development of higher levels of function, ease, emotional well-being and performance for teacher and students.

TCM is valuable for teachers at all points in their career and schools in any situation

Teachers Preparation Textbook or Supplement: TCM provides pre-service teachers the principles and practices to conceive and produce excellence. It outlines the hows and whys novice teachers need to know to hit the ground running, as well as supporting their understanding of what it means to create the high functioning classroom and their students social and emotional well-being defined by a psychology of success. TCM is a complete treatment of classroom management and discipline so it works as a stand-alone and complete course or professional development resources.

New Teacher In-service and resource: TCM provides new teachers the confidence of having the go-to resource they need to begin their growth as a teacher with high functioning principles and practical strategies to be effective right away. TCM helps new teachers keep their eyes on a vision of the excellent classroom and provides concrete and practical explanations for how to actualize that vision. As a result, they are able to achieve high function very early and without suppressing their humanity or joy (so they do not have to, as the saying goes, wait until the end of the first term to smile).

Experienced Teacher enhancement: TCM provides teachers of any experience level ideas to move to the next level of performance. It also helps the experienced teacher better classify their current strategies and habits into things they will want to 1) do more of, 2) modify, or 3) cease doing. The TCM teacher style matrix is helpful for any teacher to self-assess their basic intentions and how they might reconceive their goals as a classroom manager. And many of the chapters provide step by step strategies that no other resource provides including Chapter 15 that gives teachers a systematic plan for creating the student-centered, community classroom.

School Improvement Resource: TCM outlines the practices and principles for how to create classrooms that support the overall schools movement to the next level. Combined with the ASSC pathway, TCM lays out a roadmap to a clearer understanding of what good looks like. The fact is that many popular classroom strategies at best contribute to mediocre functioning, and can actually contribute to school-wide dysfunction. TCM promotes only healthy long-term success psychology promoting practices. For schools that are already good, TCM outlines how to move from the common practices that define schools that are stuck at adequate and help them move to excellent. When TCM practices were used in schools consistently, the achievement in those schools represented over a 90tile level of academic performance and level of school climate.
