Your Place: Professional Development Workshops
These half-day, full-day or multi-day workshops are designed to provide educators and community leaders with the methodology and hands-on training that they need to weave the concepts of sensitivity, respect, and diversity into their curriculum. Real-life situations are discussed, age-appropriate TV and film clips are viewed and discussed, lesson plans are devised, and prejudices are examined in both historical contexts and modern day situations.
