To reach all children, we know that we must provide learning options that address individual learning styles, motivation, and interests. Self-running activity centers fulfill this need by giving children a chance to learn through auditory, visual, and tactile/kinesthetic modalities. Projects and activities at centers allow children to work individually, in pairs, or in small groups. Well-designed centers can encourage children to participate in creative activities that break away from the paper/pencil tasks so common to traditional assignments. As children learn to manage and self-monitor the quality of their work, they begin to take responsibility for their own learning, forming work habits that will serve them for the rest of their lives. You will learn the features of effective learning centers, how to design and manage self-running learning centers, and how to develop developmentally appropriate center activities for all students. You will receive a packet of ready-to-use activities and information that can be adapted to individual needs and curricula.

According to social scientists and other researchers, excessive anger destroys relationships, careers, health and inner peace. Anger can drain the joy out of our lives and leave us feeling ashamed, and even foolish. Unrecognized and uncontrolled anger can turn everyday situations or challenges into explosive battlefields. You will gain a better understanding of some causes and conditions that give rise to the increasing number of angry people in our schools, homes, workplaces and communities. Attention will be placed on developing strategies for helping people learn better and more practical anger management skills. This educational program, in a non-threatening manner, will be interactive, informational, rewarding and possibly emotional. You will leave feeling empowered and informed with confidential self-assessments of your personal view about anger. Lastly, you will be afforded an opportunity to create a personal development action or advocacy plan.
