The Culture of Achievement System
The Culture of Achievement System is a tightly organized and logically structured leadership and professional development system for teachers and school leaders that Metis Leadership Group delivers to the school community in three programs.
IT IS PERSONAL. Students earn higher grades and test scores because they see education as relevant to their career and life goals. In the first program, Focusing Students on Achievement, teachers learn, practice, and receive feedback on communications strategies that help students become active and goal focused.
IT IS SOCIAL. Learning soars where teachers are confident, skilled facilitators. In the second program, Managing Classroom Behavior, principals and school leaders guide teachers in the successful use of classroom and management strategies.
IT IS VIBRANT. The program provides a strong school community supported by the energy and wisdom of the principal, school leaders, staff, teachers, students, and parents. In the third program, Building a Healthy School Climate, the principal guides members of the school community to select climate improvement goals, devise and, then, implement a climate improvement plan.

FOCUSING Students On Achievement
Students learn better and are more cooperative when they believe school is relevant to their own personal goals.
The Focusing Students on Achievement program equips teachers and principals with strategies that make the classroom relevant to students so that they are personally invested in their school success. Teachers learn how to move the locus of responsibility for achievement onto the student.

MANAGING Classroom Behavior
Students learn better in a well-managed classroom – a place where they see peers show respect for learning, respect for people, and respect for property. The Managing Classroom Behavior program provides educators with practical tools for creating and maintaining a well-managed classroom.
Aided by principals and school leaders, teachers develop procedures for managing their classrooms, put them into practice, and receive specific feedback and assistance from leaders and from peers.
