Professional Workshop - The Motivation Breakthrough: 6 Secrets to Turning On the Tuned-Out Child
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 from 4:00-6:00pm
This workshop begins with an exploration of some of the common misconceptions related to student motivation and some of the common strategies that are, quite simply, ineffective (competition, reward systems, punishment). Specific approaches and strategies will then be presented that will enable teachers and parents to motivate students…and maintain that motivation throughout the school year.
The Motivation Breakthrough, based on the book by the same name, encourages teachers to examine and identify each child’s “motivational” style and to design motivational strategies that will inspire the child to reach his or her potential.
Parent Workshop - On the Waterbed: The Impact of LD on the Family
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 from 7:00-9:00pm
Current research indicates that parents experience a wide variety of intense and conflicting emotions when endeavoring to deal with children who learn differently. Educators and parents should work together on these issues with a spirit of sensitivity, cooperation, and common sense of purpose.
This workshop discusses the importance of parental acceptance of learning problems, effective communication strategies with children, dealing with conflict, and so much more.
