Building Bridges, a professional development seminar series for teachers

Seminar Description:           

Struggling to connect with a student?  As pressure builds to teach curriculum while showing improvements on state tests, how can a teacher connect with students when kids are struggling with peer and family issues?

2) proven techniques for addressing bullying and teasing behaviors and empowering students to deal with these behaviors;

3) new information about brain development and how this affects teens and learning; and
