Have any of you presentd or attended a workshop for classroom teachers to better understnad and/or work with students with emotional or Psychological issues?
ErinSHey there! While I have not attended or presented a workshop regarding the assistance of students with emotional or psychological issues, I am interested in this topic and would like more information as well!
The application is called Class Updates and work...See More I'm a college professor and President of an educational technology startup that helps to improve student learning and retention in the classroom. If you're passionate about education like I am then hopefully you will be glad to give me feedback and help with case studies in your classroom.
The application is called Class Updates and works like this:
We help connect students and teachers with instant push notifications so students never have to worry about forgetting a presentation being due or class being canceled. All the teacher has to do is sign up on the application and create a class for their relevant school and tell their students to sign up. Once signed up they will receive instant notifications right to their phone as soon as it is sent.
We've also built a calendar function so students can track all of their classes and future notifications in one place.

If you would like to download the application the links are below and I appreciate the discussion on the application and how we can help improve the learning environment for the students while saving faculty time.
I'm looking for opinions from real teachers/ administrators for a new company dedicated to augmenting experiential learning project success. Blueprint Coaching is a student leadership coaching company specializing in project based learning.
Who are we? We are millennial community leaders marked by unique experiences in breaking the mold of student leadership to create change. We are dedicated to supporting current students in becoming what we call "innovators for the world". Our coaches support students in addressing issues ranging from environmental justice to equitable access to technology in ways that only our students are brilliant enough to devise.
The mission is to offer both the benefits of teaching leadership principles (that would be offered in a typical all-day workshop) as well as the benefit of in-process coaching with a "No-Limits" lens.
Who Do We Work With? We work with HS and college students in their process of defining, building and sustaining service projects in their communities and schools.
How Does This Work? We work within 3 four month cycles, or semesters, per year. Each month of the 4 month cycle all students on the project team will receive a video workshop focused on competency building relevant to their progress in the project as well as a conference chat between their coach and the core leadership team.
Why this model? Context. Students learn a lot from taking notes in a workshop that will describe the full life cycle of a community project in one day. But, students learn much more from learning those leadership principles as they become needed in the project's process. With this student development method students learning is contextualized as a result of the timing in which the lessons are taught (on a monthly basis) and further so by the way each lesson is tailored to their project via their coach. Increasing context at a new level maximizes student learning in their community leadership venture and the success of the venture as well.
Pricing:
For 1 four-month session including 4 video workshop modules and 6 coaching conference calls: $800
As teachers and administrators, is this service one that your school or district would purchase?
