ITSC 2012: Reaching Your Kids with Your Presentation Style

Set the Stage:

• Music: What kind of environment can I create for kids with music?
• Relationships: How can I work the room relationally to help the kids start out the day right?
• Avoid Pet Peeves:  How does my teaching style irritate my kids?

ITSC 2012: Getting Social with Students

Getting Social with Students
Presented by Jeff Utecht

• We live in a world where there is no boundary between our work life and our social life. 
• Individuals have a need to be connected.  
• We know there's no way we can tell kids they can't bring cell phones to school - almost 70% of text messages during the school day are between parent and child, not kid to kid.
• We all feel the pressure to stay connected, to stay up to date, to get things done.

How do we start using this medium with kids?

ITSC 2012: Building Leadership Capacity

I am sitting in a building leadership workshop.  Very interesting look at being a leader and communicating.  Learning to communicate with people who maybe are not the same "type" of person as you.  For something interesting google DiSC.  If you don't know what it is DiSC is a way to "type" people and find ways to communicate with people who maybe don't think the same way as you do...  Very interesting... Gives you a lot to think about.
