Parent & Student Workshops
Team-Building Workshops
In our team-building workshops we cover the cooperative and communicative relationships between various educational stakeholders (i.e. parents/students, parents/administration, parents/teachers, students/teachers, students/community, etc.). Participants learn to develop scientifically-research based tools and techniques for excelling in their interpersonal relationships through the identification of emotions, use of effective communication, and problem-solving skills. Our workshops are highly interactive (simulation of concepts through dramatic excercises, frequent comprehension assessment via quizzes in a fun game-like format, etc.), so participants are engaged and the level of comprehension and retention is increased.
Depending on the focus of the workshop and the group type, at the end of our workshop(s) we will have given participants the tools to;
Develop or enhance their intrinsic motivation & the intrinsic motivation in others
