/ Stress and the Student
Saturday, April 11th
9 Clock Hours or 1 Quarter Credit
This course will help you better understand the pressures facing kids today. It will cover how stress affects their ability to learn, and what you can do about it in your classroom. We will look at some of the causes of student stress such as generational poverty, family chaos, increasing academic expectations (e.g, the WASL), social demands, and harassment/bullying. Breakout sessions and resource materials will ensure that the methods and strategies are developmentally appropriate for the students you work with pre-K through 12th grade.
/ Getting Things Done
Saturday, April 25th
9 Clock Hours or 1 Quarter Credit
Ever feel like you can't "get it all done"? For educators there will always be more things to do and better ways to do them. It can be completely overwhelming!!! Constant grading, lesson planning and prep, collaboration, committee work, parent meetings – not to mention all the demands of your personal life. It can be a lot to juggle! But there is good news. You can have more control of your time, with more productivity and considerably more enjoyment! You will discover how to get a better hold of your schedule (with the latest time-management techniques) -- and get more out of yourself (by developing new personal habits). Come join us, and, when the day is done, you'll be breathing easier...
“Every class should be as informative and applicable to my job as those that Jacquie and Lori teach. Each class I take from them makes me a better teacher, and I come away with such useful information! As wonderful as their class content is, though, I’d say the best part of taking a class from Jacquie and Lori is the atmosphere they create. Kindness and genuine admiration for all educators just abounds in every class they teach. I’d never miss one of their classes!” - Kristen, 3rd Grade Teacher, Washington
