"Jon's training completely changed the way I interact with students. It helped me to see them as complex
people with whom I could and should develop real relationships. Jon is an expert at meeting students' psychological and emotional
needs so that they are able to focus on learning and achievement. His training and his book, The Classroom of Choice, have
made me feel like an expert too. It is the first book I recommend to help new teachers create a classroom environment that
is safe and engaging and thus ripe for rigorous academic exploration."
-Lauren
E. Lipcon, 1st grade teacher Southwest Baltimore Charter School

presenter whose workshops are jam-packed with practical, easy-to-do strategies to help students get hooked into learning!
I laughed so much my cheeks hurt!"
- Sylvia Habel, Education Consultant South Australia
“Since
working with Jon Erwin , our staff has become well-versed in how to appeal to students’ intrinsic motivation, which
they immediately were able to implement in their classrooms! . . . Because of this, our discipline problems have
decreased dramatically. Teachers have built a trusting, supportive environment that is strong enough to sustain their
relationships with their students throughout the year!”
- Kyle Bohl, Director of Student Services Creative Technologies Academy
“I have used The Classroom
of Choice in my classroom for 3 years. The activities in the book are great for building relationships, teamwork and
teaching students that they are responsible for themselves. It is a must have resource for both new and experienced
teachers!! It is easy to use and the students love the activities!!” - Joanne
