For the remaining issues of the school year, we will be featuring learning from educators that attended ASSEC! Please send your learning to Denise Kelly (who reserves the right to edit to fit in the space allotted).
Ron Glodoski was a keynote speaker at ASSEC. He spoke of the critical importance of developing relationships with students – especially the ones that drive us crazy! His personal experiences included school avoidance, gang membership, drug use and dealing, criminal activity, prison, and ultimately therapy, the road to recovery, and development of self – esteem. He urged the audience to be that one person who is there for the difficult students unconditionally. Be the one who keeps coming back to help even when they don’t want help.
His student activity workbook, “How to be a Successful Criminal: The Real Deal on Crime, Drugs and Easy Money,” (it’s a “reverse psychology” type of title!) is available at the district office. Contact Rebecca Stilchen – Jaime, and she can bizhub you the entire notebook or make you a hard copy at no cost to you.
