CESA #3 - Paraprofessional Training
January 17, 2013
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Southwest Wisconsin Technical College Room 365
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.
