SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing for Parents of Teens
DESCRIPTION:At Fairview High School\nCommunication consultant Karen Alonge will teach us a few communication skills from Motivational Interviewing — a collaborative conversation style that helps enhance motivation and commitment to change. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Guiding our Children to a Mathematical Future
DESCRIPTION:A 3-PART WORKSHOP specifically designed for parents of\nELEMENTARY AGE children\nTHIS WORKSHOP WILL INCLUDE: \nOCT 30 – SESSION 1: Come join us for an interactive evening to learn about how current research into the development of mathematical thinking impacts how we teach math to our students\, in particular how we teach computation. Participants will leave with an understanding of math development from preschool years up through the elementary years\, why our teaching strategies might look different than when you were in school\, and tools we can use as parents to help our kids strengthen their math learning including games that YOU will make and take home with you. \nNOV 6 – SESSION 2: In Part 2 of our series\, we will build upon learning from session #1 as we explore research that focuses on multi-digit computation and we’ll extend our understanding from number sense and math facts (session 1) to place value understanding as it relates to computation. We will explore how this understanding develops from a very young age\, long before we would expect our children to be computing with larger quantities.  Parents will leave with a better understanding of current practices as well as tools to support their students and games to play at home. \nNOV 13 – SESSION 3: In the last class of our series we will pull together and apply our learning from the first two sessions to further develop and build upon our understanding of how young children develop mathematical understanding.  During this class\, we will explore a wide variety of commercially available games to become critical consumers and value the role of game play in developing math skills.  Come ready to PLAY!  We will also make games for everyone to take home and you will leave with a long list of games to add to your shopping wish lists and thrift store look-fors! \nREGISTER\nLimited childcare available for $5/child/night (select when registering
