February 4: Mini Conference
No Charge!
Session 1: 9:00-10:15 AM
Rebuilding Your Educational Paradigm
In this inspiring and empowering session, you will not only come to understand the nature and purpose of today's educational system as it was originally conceived and designed, but you will see a shining alternative path, one that develops true thinkers, leaders, and communicators.
Session 2: 10:15-11:45 AM
Mastery Learning
Come and hear how, as Dr. Suzuki puts it, "Every child can learn," and you can create success in areas where you or your children have struggled in the past.
Session 3: 1:00-2:30 PM
Four Deadly Errors of Teaching Writing
We've all suffered it at one time or another: Frustration about writing assignments. Either on the receiving end, or perhaps now on the giving end, there can be a few distinctly discouraging aspects to teaching and being taught writing. The tough questions include: What should I correct and how do I give a grade? How much help is too much? Isn't the assignment clear enough? Why don't students find their own errors? Learn and avoid four teaching mistakes that contribute to this frustration: Overcorrecting, Holding Back Help, Unclear Assignments, & Over-Expectation.
Session 4: 6:30-8:00 PM
Nurturing Excellent Writers and Speakers
Many parents think that good readers will naturally become good writers. Others think that writing talent is just that--a natural ability--some have it; others don't. Both are myths. History and modern research show very clearly how good writers have developed. What are the two most critical things you can do as a parent to develop a high level of aptitude, from a young age and into high school? With humor and insight, Andrew will share the two easy but unbelievably powerful things you can do to build language patterns and nurture competent communicators in your family.
