Highlights for Success for Educators

Positive Direction Communication Skills™

for 21st Century Educators

Positive Direction Communication Skills called Consistent Positive Direction™ include speaking, writing, learning and approaching the realities that we face, day-to-day, in the direction of the outcomes, the results and the successes that you want and require – the positive direction. Increase the assurance of moving forward and improving forward by the direction of your verbal activity. That direction can be short term or long term, forward or reverse, up or down. In our personal lives, it could be anything from getting across the street to getting an ‘A’. In our professional lives, it could be anything from getting along to getting promoted. In a learning community, ‘Student Success and Growth’ is always a part of the “Organizational Positive Direction”.

Every student meets/exceeds grade level requirements and expectations

Every student exceeds qualifications for college and career readiness

Positive Direction Communication Skills and practices are designed for immediate use and easily apply to existing programs, projects and initiatives. They have been shared with educators, at every level since 1988. They are especially effective in accelerating progress, resolving differences, finding solutions, building relationships, contributing to positive self-esteem and making change work faster, more easily and more completely. These skills are integrated into every aspect and every level of human interaction including our core frameworks:
