| Personalities in the Classroom |
|
Create a smooth functioning classroom by learning how to operate with the students’ personalities. You will meet their needs while they are learning and performing from their strengths.
Knowledge of the personalities can be extremely helpful in understanding the makeup of the students in a classroom.
It can help the teacher know how to assign responsibilities and what needs each student has as part of his/her natural make up.
In this workshop participants will:
- Receive and complete a
personality profile
- Document specific ways to communicate with students of each personality type

Art ‘Specially for Special Students' |
The evidence is in and art is the winner. Art provides real benefits to students. The arts are not so much a result of inspiration and innate talent as they are a person’s capacities for creative thinking and imagining, problem-solving, critical judgment, and a host of other mental processes. The arts represent forms of cognition every bit as potent as the verbal and logical/mathematical forms of cognition that have been the traditional focus of public education.
Art offers a variety of ways for learning goals to be met by students with special needs. Art offers another means of instruction. Art gives the student another means of expression and art provides students with engagement during the learning process.
Gail’s book, which is being published in 2002 by The American Printing House for the Blind, contains art projects along with companion lessons for teaching using art.
In this workshop participants will:
- Develop a clear understanding of the value of the creative process.
- Take-away practical guidelines for art projects that can be done with their students.
