Workshop Title: Positive Solutions for Challenging Students

Workshop Description:
Have you ever had a couple of students change the climate of the classroom? Most educators will agree that there has been an increase in the number of challenging children who can impact learning. These children frequently create power and control battles that leave us feeling tired and frustrated. Participants will learn positive strategies to prevent and/or reduce arguing and the power struggles that adults are challenged with when working with youth. Our discussion will have a strong developmental focus to address the needs that today’s children bring to school. We will discuss how to hold children accountable for their misbehavior and poor social skills while maintaining a safe and nurturing learning environment. This research-based training will provide information for helping this population of children to grow up and become respectful, responsible, and resourceful adults.

Workshop Presenter: Paul Gasser
Paul is a Marriage and Family Therapist for Mile Bluff Medical Center, as well as an instructor for the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. His experience with children and their families comes as a result of working for over 30 years as a therapist and educator both in the United States and Russia. Paul is also a former principal and classroom teacher. Paul’s workshops are lighthearted and filled with practical ideas to use with your students. His information, ideas, and strategies will help you to immediately feel more in control in the classroom.
