Life Skills — Teachers

John was a classroom teacher for 15 years and knows well the challenges and joys of working with students. As a school psychologist who evaluates students for learning issues, his evaluation reports are well-received by teachers because they contain recommendations that are “teacher-friendly” and in fact possible to accomplish. This is largely because he has spent so much time in the classroom and knows what works.

John’s training in school psychology, learning theory and brain-based instructional techniques provides a unique mix of theory and practice for teacher development workshops. Recent teacher trainings have included the following:

• Non-Verbal Learning Issues
• Developing Emotional Intelligence in Young Children
• Differentiated Instruction Using Multiple Intelligences
• ADHD in the Classroom
• Learning How to Kiss a Frog: The Challenges of Middle
  School Students
• The Developmental Tasks of Adolescence
• Schools as Families
• Making Sense of Educational Testing
• Schools and Medication
• Non-Violent Communication
