Do you ever struggle helping your children with their homework? Do you feel nervous when faced with math problems? This three hour hands-on Math for Moms and Dads (How to Tutor Your Children) workshop is designed to help parents become better tutors to children of all ages.

Participants will be introduced to ways to better support their children in the learning process, achieve success in completing homework, and understand ways to help their children be more successful in their learning outside the classroom. Parents will also learn how to set goals, recognize challenges and be introduced to a variety of strategies to use when tutoring their children.

In this workshop, parents will work with specific math problems applicable to the Ontario math curriculum. Although this workshop focuses on Math, the tutoring skills can be applied to all subject areas and grades. Parents will also be provided with resources to use at home.

Workshops begin in March and will be held in Toronto and Hamilton. The cost of the workshop is $50.00

Change the world... one textbook at a time. Support two great causes.

Students from the School of Social and Community Services are partnering with Textbooks for Change to fund raise for a humanitarian trip to Peru with Cross-Cultural Solutions.

This week we will be visiting the North and Lakeshore campus to pick-up used textbooks. We will visit every school.

  • North Campus - Wednesday, February 28
  • Lakeshore Campus - Thursday, March 1

Your old textbooks will help our SSCS students raise funds to travel to Peru, and provide affordable accessible educational material to university students in East Africa.

Each used textbook you donate will help twice! 

Please go through your old textbooks and set aside any you aren't using for us to pick-up. Please e-mail jem.cain@humber.ca and let me know if we should stop by your desk. We accept all post-secondary textbooks less than 15 years old.

Thank you for your support.

Whenever you involve human participants in your research project, you need approval for your activities from the Humber Research Ethics Board. The Humber Research Ethics Board (REB) reviews all research involving human participants that takes place within the Humber community. The REB ensures that all research involving human participants aligns with the standards set by the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS). If your research involves human participants in any capacity, you need to apply to the REB for ethics approval. All applications must be reviewed and approved by the REB before research begins.
