We’ve observed 40 Hour members very carefully and surveyed them over time. It’s clear that their attitudes and commitment to the program have a far greater impact on their success than the particulars of their teaching situation.

The most successful participants live in all different countries and teach in every grade level and context you can imagine, but the program works BEST for those who are willing to:

Commit to making permanent lifestyle changes. You’ll get the best results when you are determined to learn more efficient ways of working and implementing those strategies for the rest of your career.
Focus on the aspects of your work you can control and resist making excuses. Our most successful members do not vent constantly about how much work they have piled on their plates, or view the club content through the lens of why the ideas couldn’t work in their teaching context. We have many members who started shaving hours off their workweek the very first week they joined, and without exception, those are the teachers who choose to take risks, think outside the box, and implement new ideas no matter what obstacles they are facing. The more determined you are to create change in your life, the better your results will be.
Get support from the Facebook group instead of trying to do everything alone. This participation is completely optional, but those who join the Facebook group are far more likely to stick with the club and adapt the ideas for their teaching context because they have the ability to learn from other teachers and get support. More participation in the Facebook group does not necessarily equate with better results. But the most successful members tend to be those who pop into the group on a fairly regular basis to learn from others in their cohort, share what’s working and what’s not, and let us know about their progress so we can provide support and answer questions.
