SUMMARY:Cultures of Dignity at Monarch High School
DESCRIPTION:A Presentation with Rosalind Wiseman author of Queenbees and Wannabes\, & Masterminds and Wingmen.\nBased on over twenty years of teaching and constant feedback from today’s generation of young people\, Rosalind Wiseman’s presentation is a call for action to transform the way we understand youth culture and create communities where children can thrive. From young people’s friendships\, social media use\, gossip\, drama\, bullying\, and the constant pressure to “keep up\,” she’ll share how children and teens develop their sense of self and guide their decision making in everything from their academic choices\, friends\, and how they manage conflict. In addition\, she’ll give concrete advice to parents and educators so they\, in turn\, can guide their children through the normal yet challenging problems young people face– while avoiding the common communication breakdowns and power struggles between children and adults. \nRosalind Wiseman has had only one job since graduating from college—to help communities shift the way we think about children and teens’ emotional and physical wellbeing. As a teacher\, thought leader\, author\, and media spokesperson on bullying\, ethical leadership\, the use of social media\, and media literacy\, she is in constant dialogue and collaboration with educators\, parents\, children\, and teens. Rosalind is the founder of Cultures of Dignity and is the author of the flexible\, dynamic curriculum Owning Up: Empowering Adolescents to Confront Social Cruelty\, Bullying\, and Injustice. She is also the author of Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques\, Gossip\, Boyfriends\, and the New Realities of Girl World—the groundbreaking\, best-selling book that was the basis for the movie Mean Girls. \nREGISTER \nPEN PALs Contact Paula for your discount tickets. paula.nelson@penbv.org \nDOWNLOADABLE FLYER

SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing for Parents of Teens

You’ll come away with several strategies for facilitating productive conversations with your teens about creating positive changes in their own lives. You’ll also learn how to minimize your likelihood of triggering resistance and defensiveness. \n \n“Change is exhilarating when done by us\, and exasperating when done to us.” – Rosabeth Moss Kanter. We can leave this out if necessary \n“Quite often\, when we respectfully invite people to articulate their own reasons and plans for making a change\, they will talk themselves into changing.” – Karen Alonge \nAbout Karen Alonge: As an interpersonal communication consultant and trainer\, Karen’s specialty is communication strategies for reducing resistance and defensiveness. She’s a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers and has trained and coached thousands of Motivational Interviewing learners over the past decade. She designs and delivers customized communication workshops and retreats for professionals in a variety of fields\, including conflict resolution\, criminal justice\, education\, healthcare\, and social service agencies\, and also provides individual consultations to people who find themselves embroiled in contentious communication situations at home or in the workplace. In her free time\, when Karen isn’t hiking or falling into internet search rabbit holes\, she is writing. She recently published her first book: Just Two Words: Tiny Mantras for a Satisfying Life.  Karen’s book will be for sale at the event. \nThis event is free but RSVPs are appreciated.  REGISTER HERE \nDOWNLOADABLE FLYER \nMotivational Interviewing (SP -1) – SPANISH FLYER

SUMMARY:Making a Living and a Life - A New View of “Environmental Careers”
DESCRIPTION:Are you a parent whose son or daughter is soon to make their way in the world and wants to make a difference?  Are you a young person who wants to make the world a better place through your life’s work and sees that leadership is needed to make a difference? This interactive program brings new energy and concepts to envisioning and creating a sustainable world based on “environmental literacy.”  Explore how our livelihoods can nourish us and the living systems upon which we depend.  Learn ways that environmental principles can inform and guide ALL careers\, not just those we normally think of as “environmental careers.”  Educators\, members of the business community and others are also invited to help co-envision and co-create ways to make these connections. \nPEN Partners with Martin Ogle\, because looking at how environmental literacy fits with career choices is a great example of the types of programs we do to prepare children for young adulthood.
