Teaching From The Inside Out

Description

Educating from the Inside Out is a hands-on session based on the premise that the teacher is the decisive element in the classroom. His/her people skills and emotional intelligence create the climate and determines whether problems will escalate or de-escalate and students humanized or de-humanized. Learning largely depends on the attitude and demeanor of the adults in charge.

Break-out Topics

Educating From The Inside Out and Emotional Intelligence: How To Carve A Duck both serve as excellent break-out sessions.  Any of the topics listed below can be customized for Support staff, Custodians, Food Service staff, Pupil Transportation Personnel or anyone involved in the education of our students. The main point: one’s secondary role is that of being a custodian or cook or secretary. The staff person’s primary role is that of an educator—by default you have a profound effect on the climate and students’ enjoyment of their school day.
