Education Conference
I will be presenting at the Education Conference this Saturday. I think this is a great way to get more involved in the Education program and to put into practice what I have been learning in my classes. I have been assigned to the Emotional/Psychological component of adolescence and how this can be transformed into a constructive classroom perspective. So...when I think of this component, I think of one of the other main components of high school...DRAMA. Teens are emotionally charged which leads to a lot of social "drama" within the schools. My senior year in high school, our new principal tried to address this problem saying, if we all love drama, why not be dramatic about school? Let's be emotionally charged about school and get the students to be as passionate about their learning as they are about who they are going to the dance with on friday. I need to think of an activity to present at the conference to show how this emotional component of teens can be made constructive in a classroom...any ideas Christopher? :)

I think that drama plays a big part in school. I also think that in small schools drama is a big problem because the word spreads around fast and everyone knows everyone. My high school was like this. I like this idea about being passionate about our school work rather than drama which is negative towards others. It is kind of difficult to come up with ideas how to do this though. I am sorry but I dont have any creative ideas for you for an activity. Good Luck this Saturday!
