Each spring the Southern Union provides an opportunity for the teachers' professional growth and development by offering these work- shops. One hundred and twenty-eight (128) teachers from the Southern Union and four teachers from three other unions gave up their post- week of school to participate in either one of the two week-long union-sponsored workshops. The local conference elementary associates, along with the union elementary associate, discuss the basic needs of teachers in kinder- garten, first, and second grades and seek solutions.

In this age of cultural diversity, a multi-cultural presentation en- lightened the teachers on the importance of unity in diversity. This concept of accepting others and reaching out regardless of race or culture, must be taught during the early formative years. "Teaching From the heart," was the central theme of an outstand- ing presentation on Integrated Thematic Instruction. Each teacher received a handmade heart from the presenter. At the end of each day, teachers were given an opportunity to "make and take" many of the ideas pre- sented on that day.

The preponderance of the evidence shows that teachers have more students who exhibit behav- iors in the aforementioned catego- ries and are therefore greatly in need of assistance. Educational specialists in these specific exceptionalities have been invited to share their expertise by giving techniques and strategies for identifying and developing edu- cational plans for these students' academic learning. These workshops are offered each spring with the idea that we must provide our teachers with profes- sional growth opportunities and a learning milieu that is problem- solving, which energizes them to return to their classrooms inspired and renewed to perform effectively. Teachers commented on how in- vigorated they were and that they Workshops provide professional growth for teachers.
