Culture shock is experienced by students in our classrooms. After a period of initial euphoria, students transition through stages as they navigate towards cultural adaptation. In this workshop, you will learn how to identify the stages of cultural adaptation and the challenging behaviours and feelings that may accompany a student through the stages of adjustment. The session will enable participants to understand their student’s cultural conflicts, better manage behaviours and provide responsive resolutions in the classroom.

Workshop runs from 9:55 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.

The Gallup Organization has studied human behavior for more than 70 years with a goal to help organizations and individuals maximize their performance. This resulted in the design of an instrument and accompanying talent development program that is referred to as StrengthsQuest. The testing instrument – Clifton StrengthsFinder - consists of 180 paired comparison items that are classified into 34 groupings or themes. Prior to this workshop you will have an opportunity to complete the online StrengthsFinder profile survey to discover your top five themes of talent. In the workshop you will explore your results and learn how to recognize and appreciate the unique talents and strengths of others and consider how StrengthsQuest can be used in your classroom. Come prepared to learn and have some fun!

“Time in nature is not leisure time; it’s an essential investment in our children’s health (and also, by the way, in our own.)….By taking nature experiences out of the leisure column and placing it in the health column, we are more likely to take our children on that hike-more likely to, well, have fun.”
