Description
Designed primarily for in-the-trenches teachers of unengaged students, the purpose of this course is to help educators move from inflexible, deficit-based, linear approaches so often used with disenfranchised children and youth toward more adaptive, malleable, strength-based programming. The emphasis throughout is on using the connect-clarify-restore approach for relationship building as a basis for developing practical alternative programs for troubled and troubling young people. An example of some made-in-Manitoba initiatives (e.g. The Infinity Program, Lost Prizes) shows that one size definitely does not fit all.
