Audience: Educators
Related Professionals
Length: Two 2-hour sessions Fee: TBD
     
Overview: This workshop, based on the 3 principals of coaching, utilizes S.C.O.P.E. (Student Centered Outcome Plan & Evaluation) by Joyce Kubik. This workbook finds positive ways to teach students about their AD/HD. It minimizes what is placed on the IEP or 504 Plans.
You will become aware of these individual's barriers that have become their daily challenges. You will understand your role as an enabler or a supporter. You are an important part of the student's support system, and together you will build structures around their disability. These structures will help students to see that they are capable of reaching goals, one step at a time. They will see many positive rewards.
Self-Empowerment is the goal of every individual. The ability to stand on your own, make responsible decisions, and move forward in life. Each success you teach them helps them to embrace their disability and achieve goals they could not achieve before.
Notation: Consider the Parent-Student Awareness workshop as a follow-up to this workshop.

Session 2: The Skill of Learning & The Challenge of Planning
Session 3: The Challenge of Planning

Fee: TBD
Copying of materials
Topics: You can choose from the following three topics, or you can request a topic. The needs of AD/HD students are great, therefore, opening many possibilities for breakout sessions.
Notation: All breakouts may be customized to fit your needs.
Topic #1: Planners: Making a planner work is about more than writing an assignment down.

Topic #2 :
Perception: Whether it is a student or a classroom making the observation, the results are very interesting. How do students see events that roll out in their classroom? Work with students as they monitor their daily challenges. What are they missing?
Topic #3 : Self-Empowerment: Embracing ownership: Why is that so difficult? Encouraging the student who has had a life of discouragement. Encouragement is rewarding - Success is contagious
Topic #4:
What's Hot! What's Not! In AD/HD: Research based on the facts and statistics of AD/HD. What are the outcomes of living with this disability and not doing anything about it? What works and what doesn't work?
Topic #5: Design your own - Call 1-440-933-8309 or kubikja@bridgetosuccess.net
