Workshops
In addition to the You Can Do It! books, Kay and Sally offer teacher workshops where you'll learn all kinds of clever ways to make your job easier and more effective.
In these workshops, we'll go over the history of passing troubled children; what a short-cycle assessment really is; how to intervene before a problem grows; and how to instill a sense of educational-responsibility to each student that will help them monitor their own progress and go on to be happy, successful students.
To set up a workshop, learn more about pricing or Sally's many other training programs, please feel free to contact us.
