Training Courses in Louisville, KY
For over three decades Dr. Jones has studied highly successful teachers - the naturals - to learn how they make success look easy. During that time he has conducted extensive research and constant experimentation in classrooms. His objective has been to ideal methods of classroom management that are both powerful and affordable for the teacher. Successful teaching is neither magic nor is it a selection of handy hints - the proverbial bag of tricks. Rather, successful teaching is built around a handful of core competencies that are expressed in everything the teacher does.

read moreYour program saved my teaching career, and it continued to do so until I retired after 25 years at the junior high level. Your techniques became mine over the years, and I became a confident teacher with a well-managed classroom - but with the fun and excitement of our daily Preferred Acitivity Time. Fred Jones' training rescued me when I was a young teacher, stressed out and ready to quit a profession I love. Today, I have been successful both in the classroom and as an administrator. Tools for Teaching has helped me as well as many of my colleagues.
