Linking Learning Styles and Teaching

Understand your own learning style and how that affects your teaching and presentation of information to students. Discover how to use multi-sensory, brain-based strategies that will incorporate learning styles to support the development of interactive lessons that reach all students. Participants will utilize new skills to create lessons, assessments, and daily interactions.

Homework, Discipline, and Communication…oh my… Understanding Your Child Better

We all know children do not come with a handbook, yet any information that can assist us in developing a better relationship with them is worth the effort. This workshop is designed for parents and families to experience communication, homework, and discipline strategies for their children by developing a hands-on knowledge of personal learning styles. These strategies can be used in any environment to reach the positive benefit of an increased adult/child interaction.
