PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR SCHOOLS
1. PRACTICAL PRIMARY MATHEMATICS: RESOURCES THAT ARE EFFICIENT, INEXPENSIVE AND MOTIVATING
This seminar focuses on building a solid foundation for primary students. Attention will be given to Mathematical concept priorities. During the course participants will be introduced to some, or all, of the following resources:
- The Maths Tackle Box
- Number Crunchers
- The Place Value Book
- Postcode/Zip Maths
- Blackline Masters
I will add descriptions of the resources listed above, as time permits.
2. MANAGING BEHAVIOUR IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS: DOING IT THE EASY WAY These seminars provide proven, doable and efficiency based principles. Participants will explore some of the understandings bound up in over 130 One-Liners for Behaviour Management. Those who attend a seminar will be introduced to the foundational theory, and practical implementation of, Becoming Responsible Citizens (see below).
3. BECOMING RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS (BRC): A SCHOOL AND CLASSROOM BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT MODEL
- BRC is simple, efficient, logical, doable and proven.
- BRC trains students in self-control, admitting fault, delaying gratification, apologising, making constructive choices, making restitution, making reconciliation, becoming responsible, forming positive habits, and understanding cause and effect.
BRC provides students with greater security and a predictable environment. - BRC structures systemic (family) involvement and provides better legal protection.
