Presentation Topics:
You’ve Got Too Much Class. This teacher in-service program offers a real shot-in-the-arm for certified or classified staff (support staff). From his own personal experiences, John can relate to being underpaid, overworked, and unappreciated. John explores how educators and caregivers can make a difference in a world where change is rampant and character seems to be slipping away—and the demands on us are multidimensional.
Making America Work. Young people and American educators are the key to stimulating the vitality and success of America. Eventually, the majority of our students will bring the full measure of their values, experiences, and talents to an arena where they can serve in making a diverse world a better place for humanity.
The enormous challenge of education is to understand, accept and teach a population of diverse human beings. The students of today will soon be the productive citizens of tomorrow, working and living together in harmony—to make America work—or they may not, depending on what we do now.
Stress Strain and Survival. This is an interactive presentation, with focus on managing stress, change and achieving balance in one’s personal life. It is designed to “lighten things up” Set a new mood, and offer a refreshing tone. It offers much of the same material as in You’ve Got Too Much Class, but with greater emphasis on active movement, and a focus on personal responsibility for one’s health and well being.
