Peer to Peer - Teacher Professional Development

Description:

This webinar will share the results from the first year of a three-year Ohio project to assist schools in developing a system of supports to meet the needs of the whole child, enhancing drug prevention efforts and mental/emotional health. Districts participated in five sessions over the course of the school year to create Whole Child Advisory Councils to address substance abuse, mental/emotional health, and supports for students and educators. We will share the project research, including current school activities and priorities, as well as perspectives, experiences and outcomes from the first year.

The tips and strategies presented in this webinar will help teachers reduce classroom challenges and keep their cool when the "going gets rough." You can be the best content instructor, but without the ability to control the classroom the best lesson ideas will remain undelivered. Participants will learn how to avoid the "debate bait" and eliminate warnings and multiple requests, as well as how to decrease discipline challenges, gain parental support, and feel empowered.
