Cracking the Code: Long-Term Solutions for Behavior Challenges

Behavioral challenges in schools are a reality that educators face daily. These challenges disrupt the learning environment. They also cause the school experience for students and teachers to suffer. But, amidst these struggles, there lies a beacon of hope in Lead ‘Em Up Classroom. Lead ‘Em Up Classroom is a transformative approach to improving student behavior. Our curriculum not only addresses behavior referrals but also cultivates positive relationships. Lead ‘Em Up Classroom fosters a culture of respect and responsibility within schools.

Schools across the world are experiencing a remarkable reduction in behavior referrals. One school in Vermont saw an 82% reduction in behavior referrals after implementing Lead ‘Em Up. Read the case study here.

The Green Team Exercise: Empowering Students

At the heart of Lead ‘Em Up Classroom lies the Green Team exercise—an innovative exercise that empowers students to collaboratively set and uphold behavioral expectations. Through this process, students forge stronger connections with one another. Students also develop a heightened sense of accountability and responsibility. As a result, behavior referrals decline, while student engagement and positive behavior soar to new heights.

Conventional approaches to behavior management often emphasize what students should avoid doing. This approach can reinforce negative behaviors. But, Lead ‘Em Up challenges this paradigm by casting the vision of what a “Green” classroom should look like. It is a dynamic classroom space where students thrive: academically, socially, and emotionally.

Students want to be a part of something. They want to thrive. They want to be in a special classroom environment. Through Lead ‘Em Up Classroom educators can paint the picture of what success looks like. Our curriculum employs language that inspires and motivates. And through this, educators can awaken latent desires within students.

Embracing the Vision: Shifting Focus

Lead ‘Em Up doesn’t dwell on the negatives in schools. Instead, it redirects attention toward fostering environments that promote personal and collective growth. Through Lead ‘Em Up educators tap into students’ latent desires for success. They can create a culture where positive behavior becomes ingrained. Not enforced. Lead ‘Em Up empowers educators to transform their classrooms into vibrant settings where every student can thrive.

Lead ‘Em Up Classroom goes beyond disciplinary measures. It delves into the realm of holistic student development. Lead ‘Em Up fosters a sense of ownership and belonging within the classroom community. Our curriculum also enhances emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Students emerge not only as scholars but also as empathetic and responsible citizens. They will be able to navigate the complexities of the world beyond the classroom.

Our emphasis on positive reinforcement and proactive engagement resonates with educators. The goal is to provide sustainable solutions to behavior management. We are shifting the focus from punitive measures to proactive interventions. After experiencing Lead ‘Em Up students feel empowered to make positive choices.

Lead ‘Em Up stands as a beacon of hope in the world of educational leadership. We offer a transformative curriculum that transcends traditional approaches to behavior management. Lead ‘Em Up empowers educators to cultivate special classroom environments. Classrooms where students not only excel academically; but also thrive socially and emotionally.

It’s time to embrace the vision of Lead ‘Em Up. Get the curriculum that will transform your school into a vibrant community. One where every student has the opportunity to shine.
