    Workshops and Community

    Events
    Below is a description of several workshops that educators, administrators, counselors, and other
    school staff members can attend to gain knowledge on how to incorporate specific programs, on
    how to approach students with specific needs, and on how to be more successful in educating and
    supporting students. Also, there is a discussion of a few programs that can be implemented to get
    community members more involved and engaged in the school and the educational process.

    Workshop #1: Positive Behavior Management


    This workshop is geared toward educational leaders who work with students with learning
    disabilities. The focus of the workshop is to help these individuals learn evidence-based best
    practice prevention and management techniques to support positive behavior in these students.
    Workshop #2: Discipline Matters
    This workshop is focused on improving student behavior, staff morale, academic performance,
    teacher retention, and parent/community support. It begins with a discipline audit, where
    workshop leaders come into your skill and look for areas of improvement. Then, key staff
    members attend training workshops on incorporating effective classroom management, avoiding
    power struggles, teaching self-discipline, motivating students, creating a crisis management plan,
    incorporating peer mediation, and getting parents on your side.
    Workshop #3: Career Guidance, Brain-Based Learning, and Creating an EngagementFocused School
    These workshops are put on by Educators Professional Development, and are geared toward
    providing teachers, administrators, and counselors ways to improve their classrooms and schools.
    There are workshops covering how to incorporate career guidance into a school, how to gear
    your school toward brain-based learning, and how to create an engagement-focused school.
    Workshop #4: Educating Diverse and Bilingual Learners
    This website provides a variety of workshops and institutes that educational leaders can attend
    that are geared toward educating diverse and bilingual learners. It includes workshops titled
    Culture and Policy, Project LIBRO, and Project TRAIN.
    Workshop #5: Solution-Focused Training (How to Say it to Get Into the College of Your
    Choice)

    This workshop is put on by solution-focused brief therapy proponent, Linda Metcalf. The
    workshop is presented to students, parents, school counselors, and staff, and it focuses on how to
    choose a school, how to apply, what to say to make their application noticeable, how to write a
    resume, conduct an interview, gather recommendations, how to write an essay, scholarships,
    F.A.F.S.A. and work-study programs. Dr. Metcalf is also available to provide solution-focused
    workshops and training for teachers, school counselors, and mental health practitioners.
    Community Involvement Ideas
    Idea #1: Students could spend a semester shadowing business leaders and working some days in
    their company. As a result, companies tend to be more interested in funding other school
    programs and activities.
    Idea #2: Offer or host after-school programs for adults to learn new skills.
    Idea #3: Allow members of the community to attend meetings with school leaders who are
    deciding on the school budget. Community members voice their opinions and offer various
    insights and suggestions. These community members may be more supportive of their school
    because they feel like they know where their money is going and how it is being spent.
    Idea #4: Create an electronic database of volunteers willing to assist schools with mentoring,
    computer installation, sponsoring, networking, chaperoning, software updating, web designing,
    troubleshooting, and training.
    Idea #5: Encourage teachers, administrators, and counselors to bring community leaders in as
    guest speakers and expert advisors. Also, give them resources on ways for students to share their
    work with the community.
