DAY ONE This seminar examines digital kids and the way they communicate and interact. This has ramifications for the way we must deal with them at school and manage their behaviour – particularly when it comes to cyber bullying. Dr Lillico will investigate contemporary techniques available for teachers and education support staff to deal with and support today’s young people in their school journey. He will discuss the outcomes of recent research in the UK and USA and provide a host of specific strategies to better engage them, manage their behaviour and combat all forms of bullying. Young people don’t fear those in authority any more. We need to use our good relationships with them to change inappropriate behaviour. We need to understand their use of technology – teaching young people effective and ethical use of these devices. This is a practical seminar where participants will explore really effective and proven strategies!
DAY TWO This seminar will explore teaching, motivating and managing students with particular needs in schools. There will be an emphasis on Autism and ADHD but other needs including Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), grief and family dysfunction will be covered. Ian will discuss the role of mutiple techniques and strategies in the management of these children at school. The aim of this seminar is to give teachers and education support staff who deal with young people at both primary and secondary level a fuller understanding of these special children and the effective tools to help them achieve their maximum potential.
