Attitude is the key to lifelong educational success.

The goal is to help school children retain or regain their joy and passion for learning.

If you teach Readin', 'Ritin', 'n' 'Ritmetic, but not Respect, Responsibility and Resourcefulness, then your students are at risk for motivational amputation.

The symptoms of motivational amputation include a lack of interest in learning, a sense that participating in a group (or class) is pointless, and cynicism and resignation in the face of injustice.

This site provides the information and tools you need to prevent motivational amputation.

This 10-minute video explains the deep cultural roots of why mainstream schools do school the way they do.

If we put attitude first throughout our education system then the long-term RESULTS will include:

• Passionate teachers teaching
• Enthusiastic students in
• Joyful schools, and
• Coincidently, improved test scores, reduced stress, self-managed behavior, improved self-image, respect for legitimate authority, and increased academic excellence.

If you are responsible for school-age children (~6-12 years old) then this site is for you.

Whether you are a teacher, principal, camp counselor, director, nanny, parent or have any other position taking care of, educating, and leading children then you:

1. have chosen a position of moral leadership with children
2. need in depth understanding of attitude, and,
3. need long-term strategies for nurturing the children in your care.

This site is NOT about the short-term achievement of:

• Obedience
• High test scores
• Positive self-esteem
• Behavioral management, nor
• Academic instruction

Those are long-term, not short-term, results.

Teach-Kids-Attitude-1st.com is about helping you to provide the best possible educational leadership in any situation where you are in charge of kids.

"Who is this guy?" you ask.

I am a teacherpreneur (entrepreneurial teacher) with over 15 years experience leading and caring for children in a variety of settings, plus, I home schooled other people’s kids for about five years using an adaptive curriculum focused on attitude, not academics.

I have also done nearly everything you can do with kids outside the formal classroom over the years; out-of-school program leadership, child care center teaching, camp counseling, and nannying.

While I chose not to use traditional methods of instruction for my teaching practice, I intuitively knew that there was something else that was more important.

The something more is what we do as an organization.

And the way we do it is by the creation of the particular structures, processes, and patterns that make up our organization.
