Dr. Marvin Marshall - Education Speaker Educational Speaker from Los Angeles, CA

Dr. Marvin (Marv) Marshall is the author of the landmark book, "DISCIPLINE WITHOUT STRESS® PUNISHMENTS OR REWARDS: How Teachers and Parents Promote Responsibility and Learning." He is an international authority and expert speaker on reducing stress while promoting responsible behavior through INTERNAL motivation—rather than through EXTERNAL motivational approaches that rely on bribes to control, threats, and imposing punishments. His RAISE RESPONSIBILITY SYSTEM is unique and growing in popularity because it is TOTALLY NONCOERCIVE—but never permissive. The adult is ALWAYS IN CONTROL. His unique specialty is showing how to handle any behavior or discipline problem simply, easily, and immediately—without prompting counterwill, the natural human desire to resist coercion. His system improves relationships and effectiveness with all parties involved. He also demonstrates how collaboration is far more effective than competition for improving learning. His presentations are interactive, humorous, and empowering. He has presented in 25 countries on 5 continents. His extraordinary number of testimonials can fill a book. Here are a few examples: "Your body of work cements your position as today's preeminent authority on teaching and working productively with students of all ages." –C.M. Charles, BUILDING CLASSROOM DISCIPLINE, Pearson, 8th -current Edition "This is the most human approach ever presented in moving children to intrinsically internalize responsibility." —"Faye Anderson, Principal, 21st Century Academy, San Francisco Unified School District, San Francisco, California "This is the best year I have had in my 25 years of being a principal. Discipline has not been a problem this year. Students monitor their own behavior and make responsible choices without the use of punishments or rewards." —Phelps Wilkins, Principal, Eisenhower Elementary School, Mesa, Arizona "I have a friend who keeps saying, 'I hope you get a good group this year.' I keep telling her that it's my responsibility to set up the classroom in the right way by separating classroom management from discipline and empowering my kids with the gift of responsibility. There is no more hoping that I magically get a good class. It's all in the way I set up the classroom with the Discipline Without Stress Model." —Brianna Siderio, Glendora, New Jersey "By using your methodology, we have transformed our school. Our discipline referrals have been cut by more than half from the year before. The climate is positive, of togetherness, and of cooperation. We are forever grateful for your insight in helping us to renew our dedication to teaching." —Esther Severy, Principal, McFadden Intermediate School, Santa Ana, California "Since you trained our staff, we are seeing enormous improvements in students' behavior and in reduced teacher stress. Classroom management, discipline, and relationship with students have all significantly improved." —Beth Harris, Assistant Principal, De Anza Middle School, Ventura, California "For the first time in many years, we had advice we could walk back into the classroom and actually use the next day. You helped us realize the importance of using discipline as a learning tool rather than as a purely punitive measure." —Gretchen Fleming, Principal, Pattonville High School, Maryland Heights, Missouri
