Dear Colleagues:
As
parents and educators, you probably don't need to be
reminded of the critical role that good social skills
play in students' academic success in school and
beyond.
Students who lack
social skills such as cooperation, self-control, being a
good listener and knowing how to ask for help, are more
likely to have problems in their interactions with
teachers and peers and to disrupt the
classroom.
But, how can you
make a difference with your own students? I just
learned that my friend and colleague, Dr. Howard Knoff,
will be presenting a 2-hour webinar on this very subject
September 3.
Howie will
discuss how to select and implement a school-wide and
classroom-focused social skills program that can help
children develop critical interpersonal, problem-solving
and conflict resolution skills in a developmentally
sensitive and appropriate way.
Over the years I've worked closely with Howie on a
number of projects and I can assure you he is well worth
the registration price for this special on-line
event. The great advantage of webinars is that you
don't have to travel and you can invite friends and
colleagues to listen with you at no extra charge.
