Easy Implementation

Teachers are often surprised by how easy it is to use the Keys through daily classroom instruction.  Without saying a word, a teacher can continue teaching while she takes a paper Key off her desk and places it on the desk of a listening, cooperative student.  Immediately, other students notice and change their behavior as well.

To make it easy for schools and teachers to introduce The Keys to Success in the first year, a thorough Teacher Workshop is presented explaining the many ways The Keys can be simply implemented.  Outlining all of the following in depth is just part of the Teacher Workshop....
