Why do some teachers enjoy peaceful, orderly classrooms while others face daily discipline battles? The answer is that some teachers know the secrets to solving discipline problems. This course reveals those secrets and presents a step-by-step approach to effective, positive classroom discipline.

<strong>I've Got A Secret!</strong> In our first lesson, you'll learn a very important secret about children and discipline. Once you know the secret, you'll be empowered to solve all classroom discipline problems, whether minor or severe. Armed with your new knowledge, you'll be on your way to a more peaceful, respectful, and productive classroom.

<strong>Children Need to Behave</strong> - This lesson explores what motivates student behavior. We come into the world with a set of needs, and for the rest of our lives, we struggle to learn how to best meet those needs. In this lesson, you'll examine students’ needs and learn how to teach to them to meet those needs responsibly.

<strong>Now You're Going to Get It</strong> - You probably already know what approaches don't work with students, but this lesson will explain why they don't work. You'll learn about the brain’s three control centers and how they affect your students’ behavior. You'll also learn how to avoid ineffective responses that can only make problems worse.

<strong>And the Winner Is...</strong> - When discipline is practiced correctly, there are no losers, only winners. Teachers win because they are able to have their needs met without imposing authority or control. Students get their needs met because they get a say in the process through the use of choices. This is the win-win approach to discipline.

<strong>You've Got to Have a Plan</strong> - You have to have a plan. If you just react as situations present themselves, you are going to continually have problems. In this lesson, I'll help you create a game plan for effective classroom discipline. With this plan, you and your students can agree on which behaviors are acceptable and which are not in your classroom.

<strong>What to Do When</strong> - Now that you have a plan, what do you do when students choose to misbehave? What do you do when they behave responsibly? In this lesson, we'll talk about actions you can take when students choose to ignore boundaries. In addition, you'll learn about the reinforcing actions you should take when students choose to act responsibly.

<strong>Problems and Maturity</strong> - Now that you're halfway through the course, it's time to put your new knowledge into action. In the remaining lessons, you learn how to apply what you've learned to discipline problems that commonly occur in any classroom. You'll learn how to deal with these specific problem behaviors: the attention-demander, the apple-polisher, and the whiner.

<strong>Problems With Others</strong> - This lesson focuses on solving problems that involve how students relate to and interact with each other. You'll learn steps that you can take that will both stop the inappropriate behavior and teach appropriate, responsible behavior. You'll learn how to effectively deal with these types of students: the arguer or excuse maker, the bully, and the fighter.

<strong>Problems and Defiance</strong> - In this lesson, you'll learn active listening and other techniques that you can use to defuse emotional situations. You'll learn how to effectively deal with students who continually behave in ways that push your emotional buttons and try your patience. You'll learn what to do when confronted with the defier, the disrespectful, and the disrupter.

<strong>Problems and Schoolwork</strong> - Behavior problems often result in poor academic performance, either directly or indirectly. This lesson gives you a practical approach to helping students who have chosen to not work to their full potential. You'll learn how to help problem students such as the do-nothing, the cheater, and the homework hater.

<strong>Problems and Independence</strong> - In this lesson, you'll examine discipline problems that arise out of students’ need for freedom and independence. These problems occur more frequently in the preteen and teenage years, but independence can be an issue at any age. If you are a parent as well as a teacher, you'll be interested in this lesson that shows you how to successfully deal with the procrastinator and the rebel.

<strong>Let's Try Again Tomorrow</strong> - What do you do if you try these new approaches but they don't work? That's the subject of this last lesson. We'll look at some additional strategies you can use to solve severe or recurring problems. The course ends on a positive note with a reminder of all of the good reasons why we chose to become teachers in the first place.

Product reviews for Assisting Elderly Parents

A very timely course in this day and age when the number of elderly is increasing at record levels. I had been searching for information on a variety of elder care issues for quite some time and this course provided me with answers to my questions in one place. With my parents entering their golden years, I needed a roadmap to guide me with helping them through the aging process. This course was that roadmap.
Verified Student
Excellent and informative class. I only wish I had taken it several years earlier. Some problems dealing with my parents may have been avoided. I will use this material again and again. It's very valuable.
Verified Student
Excellent course, and it could not have come at a better time in my life. I feel I got an enormous amount of direction and information! I would highly recommend it to others!
Verified Student
For many, the journey down the path of assisting aging parents is full of uncertainty and emotional highs and lows. This course lights the way for our journey through the experience of others. Knowing what to expect and being equipped with tools to handle the challenges along the way makes me more confident and better prepared to deal effectively with whatever lies ahead.
Verified Student
I found the course to be very informative.  My father passed away at home after a lengthy illness & the course reinforced the way the family handled his illness and passing.  Your course gave me some valuable things to think about.  I would definitely recommend the course. The course was very well organized.  Thank you for all your personal experiences.

I thoroughly enjoyed this on-line class on Assisting Aging Parents. The lessons and supplemental information have been valuable. The instructor was knowledgeable and caring, and taught from first hand experience. I feel that I am more prepared and have more confidence to deal with the the complexities of dealing with my aging parents. This was my first on-line class and I must say, I found it very enjoyable and look forward to taking other courses in the future.
Verified Student
This was a very timely class for me. My parents are elderly and I am struggling with their care and wellbeing. The scope of the course was amazing to me - the instructor covered information from the very beginning of the aging process (retirement) through searching for alternative living conditions and ending in the finality of death. All topics were covered candidly and with compassion. I think one of the greatest benefits was the outside reading and resource list.
Verified Student
Your class was so much more than I expected! Beyond helping me with the practical matters of resources and approaches, ultimately I realized that in order to be effective for my dad I have to dismantle the roadblocks in my head. After almost forty years of cynically rejecting "clichés," light bulbs were going off in my head as I read your material. It finally sunk in and empowered me -- I can change myself! As a result I have a confidant in my sister and a healthier relationship with my mom. Thank you for truly helping ME to assist my aging parents!
Verified Student
The course is a much needed course for many. It is excellent, very informative, provides many resources, and has up to date information. I have learned so very much from taking this course. It has provided me with a road map of what to and how to better prepare for the death of my parents and my own death. After taking this course, there is no reason why all important papers should not be in place. Following through on what I learned in this course should help me with the emotional as well as the business part of the aging process. It should benefit my parents as I work with them, benefit me - as well as my daughters - as I prepare everything for them in advance. Great Course! Our instructor has a very loving, caring manner in which she presents the materials. I like the way she shares her own experiences, which lets the students know she is instructing from personal experience. She is not teaching us something she has not experienced or felt. She has a very sympathetic ear as we share our grief and disappointments as we work with our aging parents. Kudos to our instructor. She is fantastic! Thank you, Marsiea! You have made a great impact on my life and the way I will handle the business of Assisting My Aging Parents.

I retired seven years ago.  During the first six years my husband and I enjoyed lots of travel, taking care of our nephew's children, and volunteer work.  In the sixth year of retirement I started missing the world of work.  I missed getting a paycheck and working.  My thoughts, however, were "who would hire an old lady who hadn't worked in six years?”    I felt revitalized again learning what was new in office software.  I took a certificate course in gerontology and during that course I perused medical office websites.  I updated my resume and applied for a job as an activity aide in the dementia section of a nursing home.  I went through two interviews and was hired on my 65th birthday last summer.
