Creating less stress and more success in the classroom
Dr. Nicola Barber, founder of Ultra Didactic Consulting, is using Soft Skills and Resorative Practices to transform the classroom experience for students and teachers in underperforming schools.
We equip educational professionals with tools needed to efficiently manage their classrooms
I’m an educator, doing what I love. Helping others find information or instructing others, is my dream job. But I also know that sometimes as an educator our jobs can become less than a dream.
I have experiences dealing with more than just disrespect in students and feeling like a “stop gap”; But I found my way by using Restorative Practices, setting student and parent boundaries, and building effective student teacher relationships. And I want to share these technique and plans with others and together with a positive mindset we can create an efficient classroom environment.
