About this audiobook
This book is not prescriptive.
It is not a recipe or how-to book.
Predictable Success...Not Stress acts as a narrative on impacting, influencing, changing lives, and building powerful futures for you and your students.
It all starts in a Predictable Success Classroom (PSC), which stimulates and empowers an environment and culture of success, not stress. The PSC focuses on the "product" as the end goal. That is, students' success inside the classroom that directly correlates to their success in the world.
Predictable Success...Not Stress hones in on the root issues that devolve our students from achieving their full potential, and equipping educators to stimulate their growth and development. In a PSC, there is a magnetic force that holds both equal and opposing forces in balance.
The PSC utilizes a construction metaphor, which includes the blueprint, foundation, and framework for a consistently evolving atmosphere. This foundation is grounded in Trusting the Ambiguity and Trusting the Process.
There are seven key attributes and seven puzzle pieces within a PSC.
The purpose of this book is to reveal those key factors to you, and illustrate that the PSC toolbox is not a thing, but a place. The PSC utilizes four tools, or the 4 P's: Preparation, Patience, Perseverance, Partnership, and dives deeper with the why, how, what, and who.
There is never a wrong time to do the right thing with our students. Their success within the classroom will dictate their success in the real world. It is our responsibility to equip them with the necessary tools for a strong future, and guide them through their own style of learning, thinking, and engaging with their environment.
Learn a better way to teach your students and watch them thrive. Pick up a copy of Predictable Success...Not Stress today and start empowering your classroom for tomorrow.
