The Developmental Relationships Workshop: Creating Connections That Help Kids Thrive and Motivating Youth by Igniting their Sparks
Join us for a full day of training presented by Kelly Felton from the Search Institute! The day will be broken up into the following two workshops;
Relationships are too important to leave to chance. Educational success and social-emotional development blossom when caring adults and supportive peers are present in young people’s lives. During the The Developmental Relationships Workshop, participants will learn practical ways to put these concepts into practice while strengthening motivation, persistence, and other skills that are essential for success in school and beyond.
Learn how to motivate young people in your school, organization, or community by tapping their “sparks,” their deep passions and interests. We will discover the central role of sparks in engaging and motivating youth to learn, contribute, and grow. Participants will explore how to engage young people in identifying, cultivating, and expressing their sparks and will develop strategies for intentionally engaging young people in conversations and actions that are rooted in their passions and interests.
For more information on either workshop check out the Search Institute website. Full day attendance is required to see how these two important concepts work together.
