Empowered Classrooms,
Confident Teachers
Classroom management has always been a challenge—but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Time To Teach provides educators with a full-day, interactive professional development experience filled with strategies they can use immediately.
As a Time To Teach facilitator, Adam Holbrook helps educators master the five core components that transform classroom management and student success. These methods consistently eliminate up to 90% of common classroom disruptions, giving teachers more energy, stronger relationships, and—most importantly—more time to teach.
That’s what our professional development day is all about: practical, engaging tools built around five core components that actually work.
A full-day professional development experience that gives educators the tools, strategies, and confidence to handle challenges, build stronger relationships, and reclaim their time—so they can actually teach.
This isn’t another PD day where teachers sit through slides and walk away with nothing that actually works on Monday morning. Time to Teach is hands-on, practical, and built around what educators actually need to create classrooms where students thrive and teachers don’t burn out.
By the end of the day, your educators walk away re-energized, equipped, and genuinely excited to get back in the classroom—because they finally have tools that work.
Here's what we cover:
Self-Control
Learn how to stay calm and composed when students push every button, so you can respond with clarity instead of getting pulled into exhausting power struggles.
Teach To's
Refocus
This one’s the crown jewel of Time to Teach.
What happens when you’ve done all the right things—taught expectations, stayed calm—and that one student still decides to test the limits?
We skip the endless warnings and nagging. Instead, we use a non-confrontational Refocus strategy. The student quietly heads to a buddy teacher’s room with a refocus form to independently reflect and problem-solve. No drama, no yelling, no battle of wills—just accountability and calm. (It’s basically classroom management magic.)
Classroom Ecology
Now, let’s talk about something most people overlook: the classroom itself.
How your room looks, sounds, and even smells affects behavior more than you’d think. We dive into setup, color, lighting, music, and overall environment. This component helps teachers design spaces that are calm, inviting, and conducive to learning—not chaos.
Unconditional Positive Regard
Because relationships are everything. Build trust and connection so students feel seen, safe, and actually want to cooperate.

54%
A 2024 survey found that 54% of teachers consider classroom management a significant challenge, partly because many lack adequate training, with 39% of K-12 educators reporting never receiving explicit instruction in their preparation programs, according to RethinkEd.
~28%
Teachers spend 25-30% of their instructional time on behavior. REthinkEd
14%
In the U.S., 14% of new teachers resign by the end of the first year, 33% leave within their first 3 years, and almost 50% leave by their 5th year. The number one reason? Classroom Management concerns.
