School and Community Summer 2023

Join us at MSTA’s State Convention for FREE Professional Learning!

One Rule To Rule Them All 2023 MSTA State Convention Keynote Session Friday, November 17th – 10:30 AM You only need one rule in the classroom to manage student behavior - The Golden Rule. “Treating students the way you want to be treated” not only keeps you from repelling students away from you, but it actually attracts them to you. Even the students that give you the most amount of trouble are not immune to the rule’s transformative power. The rule also works when dealing with difficult parents, unpleasant staff members, or even your ornery kids at home. In this keynote, social psychologist Dr. Brooks Gibbs breaks down the science behind the Golden Rule with strategies for wielding its power in the classroom. Using humor and practical insight, Dr. Brooks presents a fresh look at a 3,000-year-old maxim for dealing with difficult people.
