S.M.A.R.T.S. professionals provide complete training for public, private, and special school personnel. This training is equally successful in settings such as corporate training, in rehabilitation institutions, as well as in college classrooms. The S.M.A.R.T.S. Learning System turns routine workshops into fun, challenging, positive peer pressure-based learning experiences that helps teachers learn strategies one day and implement them the next. The workshops show teachers how to draw students into lessons where they actively participate in the lesson as well as the learning process. S.M.A.R.T.S. Seminars are ideal for in-service training, educational conferences, and conventions, and in general staff development. The S.M.A.R.T.S. Learning System uses techniques that have been formally tested by the Utah State Learning Resource Center, Murray State College in Kentucky, as well as independent school districts throughout the country. They are effective not only in traditional classrooms, but also in classrooms where learning and behavior are problem It is effective for grades kindergarten through college. The seminars are extremely motivational, consequently, they are particularly popular not only for keynote presentations, but for any type of meeting.
Classroom Modeling is also offered. Trainers actually come into classrooms and work with teachers and students. They do not come in and take over a teachers classroom. Rather, they work with the teacher, teaching the S.M.A.R.T.S. strategies on site, team teaching with the teacher. It is never forgotten who is the primary teacher and the appropriate respect is given. Most often, a trainer will start the strategy with the class, but S.M.A.R.T.S. strategies are so easy and common sense, the teacher takes over the lesson and continues exceptionally well. Teachers learn to mix and match strategies, tweak them to fit their needs and the needs of their students. One of the beauties and most important aspects of the S.M.A.R.T.S. System, is that teachers take the strategies and make them their own.
