Mr. Laing's classroom management is largely based on Time to Teach methods and strategies. Tom Cook implemented Time To Teach back in 1997. I believe much of Livingston's success has come from the stability and common language created at Glenn Livingston Elementary when it has come to school and classroom management. It truly has given teachers MORE TIME TO TEACH! Many Blue Ribbon Award recipients use Time To Teach methods and strategies. All three elementary schools in Powell are Blue Ribbon recipients and they all use Time To Teach methods and strategies!
I bet you are hooked to Studio C after watching these quirky videos. Makes me laugh every time! Sketch comedy really is a career ... ha, ha!
