| Dear Board Member: Why do Native youth experience the highest
rate of violence, dropouts, suspensions and expulsions, yet lowest in
reading levels and graduation rates in both Native and mixed schools?
Come to a special Native Education Workshop
and get answers to these questions. Also review practical step-by-step
methods to correct the problem and meet the "No Child Left Behind"
requirements.
- New research on the unique motivation
triggers, value systems and learning strengths of Native children.
- Methods of capitalizing on Indian
learning strengths to greatly improve Native students' reading, math and
science achievements.
- Learn about new intervention skills to
more effectively respond to student misbehaviors. Help misbehaving
students (fights, cussing, insolence, etc.) make behavioral changes
[capitalizing on educable moments] and in the process, stop the high
rates of discipline dropouts, transfers and suspensions of Native
children.
- How to maintain steady enrollment levels
throughout the year, while preventing absenteeism, drugs and violence.
- The "why" of excessive Native alcoholism
and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (F.A.S.), family break-ups, and how "Native
Ways to Prevention" can stop it.
- Survival skills for children living in
substance abuse environments.
- Learn how the fracture in parenting
skills from 200 years ago continues to affect Native people today.
In addition, learn about the different drinking patterns that, because of
being unknown to non-Indian researchers, has been left out of drug
programs - resulting in costly failures.
If you are tired of the huge Native school
dropout, violence and drug use rates, come see how "Native Ways to Drug
and Violence Prevention" can transform your entire community.
Imagine a safe, drug and violence free community with happy children and
healthy families.
Hope to see you there!
