Review

RCD has been an incredible resource in the classroom since it focuses, not on punishment, but on students taking responsibility for their actions. This paradigm shift encourages teachers to maintain positive and respectful relationships with their students, which fosters an atmosphere of respect and self-responsibility pivotal to learning. --Mariel Dryton, High School Social Studies Teacher

Since I began using RCD, I have noticed stronger connections with students and a stronger desire on their part for improving behavior. Using Give 'em Five has given me effective tools to guide and motivate students to change their behavior for their benefit. I feel more effective as a school social worker, because I have Give 'em Five as a skill set. --B.G. Kennedy, Elementary School, Counselor

Our teachers have become more confident using the de-escalating techniques while listening more and using fewer consequences. Larry's training has been highly beneficial to our staff and will be a tool we will continue to use. --Steve Backman, High School Principal, Juvenile Correctional Complex
