|
Legal Rights and Responsibilities/Safety at Work |

Join legal staff to learn about your job from the inside out, including issues involving the terms and conditions of your employment, disciplinary action, physical contact with students, and your responsibility to report suspected child abuse. This presentation will also include a discussion about workers’ compensation and what you can do to protect yourself if you’re injured on the job. |
Stress Management |

This practical stress management workshop is designed to help you understand what causes you stress and the best ways to deal with it. You will learn about many different stress relieving remedies and practice a few of the techniques during our time together. It’s sure to be a calming and relaxing experience! |
C.A.R.E. Overview (CULTURE, ABILITY, RESILIENCE, and EFFORT) |
To be announced |
The C.A.R.E. Overview will provide ESP with an introduction to research-based and classroom-focused resources that may be used to help them (1) take into consideration the culture of the students; (2) see and capitalize on unrecognized abilities and appreciate different types of intelligence; (3) recognize and build on the resilience students bring into the classroom, and (4) find innovative ways to motivate students so that they can maximize their efforts and be successful in school. |
Credit Management |
Richard Smith |
It is generally recognized that there is a correlation with one’s competence at work and one’s quality of life as it relates to managing personal and family issues such as those represented by NEA Member Benefits. Worry over debt and financial obligations can be emotionally traumatic thus affecting attitude and performance on the job. This seminar will identify the “markers” so as to identify financial stress, reduce expenses, re-establish credit and if needed arrange for credit counseling through the NEA & NFCC relationship. |
Advocacy & Problem Solving Skills |
Dale Templeton |
This highly interactive session will help you to decide the best approach to solving problems in the workplace. This training will assist you in developing the skills in becoming a member advocate, the “eyes and ears” of the Association at your workplace, ensuring that the health, welfare and rights of you and your colleagues are protected by monitoring the implementation of your collective bargaining agreement. |
Public Speaking |
Herman S. Whitter |
In this session, you will acquire the basic skills of effective public speaking. You will learn the purpose of prepared and impromptu talks, the art of communicating and the challenge of effective public speaking. You are natural public speakers; we will show you how to speak at gatherings. |
