What is Love and Logic® for Teachers?

Love and Logic® is a method of working with students

which was developed by educational expert Jim Fay,

child psychiatrist Foster W. Cline, M.D. and Charles Fay,

Ph.D. Love and Logic® has many tools for educators,

Principals and districts that promote healthy

parent/teacher and teacher/student relationships and

positive school wide discipline. And yes, Love and Logic®

works along with all other school discipline programs. It

actually makes them better!

Love and Logic® helps educators, administrators, and counselors:

Set limits in the classroom without anger Provide underachievers hope and willingness when the going gets tough Raise the odds for kids to stay in school Build strong connections between home and school Improve attendance Manage disruptive students Make teaching and learning more fun and productive Immediately handle disruptive students Get students’ attention Build positive student-teacher relationships Help students own and solve their own problems Bully proof children, diffuse power struggles, and handle difficult people

Why it works: When adults take care of themselves, they hand the

problem back to the student who created it. When the student has to solve the problem, they have to

think. When students have to think, they learn that decisions

have consequences. When students have to deal with consequences, they learn

to think. When we allow the student to deal with the consequences,

they learn to think before they cause a problem. When the student learns to ask themselves, “How is this

behavior going to affect me?” they have learned self control.

What teachers and administrators are saying about Keri:

“I want to thank you again for everything you’ve taught me. I look

forward to teaching every day. I love the peace and fun that come from my classroom. I’ve developed amazing relationships with my kids through clear boundaries and empathy… it’s amazing what happens when you start thinking of your students as a human being, just as yourself.” – Julius B. at KIPP Philadelphia

“We had a great all day experience having you come and introduce our charter school teachers to Love and Logic®. Your presentations were fun and informative, with many of us wanting to immediately put the concepts to works! And we did! We noticed an almost immediate change in behavior of our students! It certainly has helped many students, teachers, and parents change how they handle unique situations in their lives… to know they can solve their own problems and issues. I would highly recommend, with out reservation, ANY school to adopt and use the simple, inexpensive and common sense Love and Logic® program. Thanks for all you do!” – Steve A. in Arizona

“Keri, your work with us was powerful and the heart that we needed at a critical stage of our school’s development. We are so proud of where we are now as a school – Love and Logic® is the school’s ‘culture’ and it’s the first thing I share when visitors want to brainstorm in my office.” – Tom B. at KIPP Infinity in NY

“I attended the conference in Las Vegas and wanted to send a formal ‘thank you’ for such an inspiring Love and Logic® workshop! As a charter school kindergarten teacher, I am always looking for new ways to approach behaviors in my class. As you role modeled ineffective teaching practices with challenging-behaved students, I chuckled to myself thinking, ‘Oh, that is soooo me!’ and ‘Guilty!’ thanks again for a great takeaway. You were the reason the conference was as great as it was!” – Jesse R. in California

“I really liked Keri’s story about how she became involved in Love and Logic®. Her openness is refreshing and allowed me to connect with her because I felt that she really knew what she was talking about. She is so passionate about it! Keri not only facilitates, but also presents information that is supported by research. I really appreciate her light heartedness and sense of humor in her presentation. The information about critical thinking and causal thinking was great! – Sarah M. in Orlando
