Integrity, Achievement, and Classroom Stability

The absence of integrity penetrates the core of our social, political, professional and family lives. We continue to operate out of a condition of survival, not realizing that requirements of survival have long since been met. But is also a classroom issue.

Integrity is a natural condition with which we are born but in time, learn to give up, thinking we are better off without it. As a result, we become so acclimated to competitive, win/lose environments and relationships, it never occurs to us there is a way out. The degree of integrity you practice alters not only every circumstance of your life in the classroom, but more importantly, your reactions to those circumstances.

Integrity, Achievement, and Classroom Stability is designed to look at different stages of integrity, the natural results of each stage, and how they are affecting the achievement, learning, and behavioral patterns. Based upon the work of Ron Smotherman, M.D., this program provides clear descriptions and identifiable characteristics of each stage, as well as suggestions and strategies for moving up the ladder into higher levels of responsibility, performance and instructional innovation.

• A clearly defined plan to increase integrity throughout the school system.
