Hear Our Cry…Boys in Crisis
Boys are 85 percent of the discipline problems in school. They also constitute the largest population in special education, Title 1, and those who have reading and writing problems. Boys are the ones who have committed the violent acts in America's schools and they are the most likely to drop out of school.
This workshop focuses on the why behind male behavior in school and what schools can do to begin making school more "boy friendly." Issues that impact boys who come from poverty as well as middle class will be explored in this session.
Also note that a parent version of this workshop is also available as an evening add-on to this training.
A Framework for Understanding Poverty
Foundational workshop provides an understanding of the mindsets of different economic classes and a multitude of strategies for working with children from poverty, middle class, and wealth.
Research-Based Strategies—This workshop builds on the shared understanding and relationships of mutual respect learned in A Framework for Understanding Poverty and teaches the learning strategies that enable students to learn vital content while building their cognitive abilities.
Under-Resourced Learners: 8 Strategies to Boost Student Achievement— By identifying the emotional, mental, physical, language, and other resources your students have and need, this workshop helps you design specific interventions, best practices, and methods to help embed success strategies into curricula and into the minds and lives of your students.
