Improving Student Engagement: Practical Strategies to Learn, Interact & Communicate with Students (Part 1)
TARGET AUDIENCE: HEP & CAMP
Presenter: CoolSpeak | Ernesto Mejía & Natasha Carrizosa
Time: 9 - 12 noon

This workshop will address the myth that students dislike participating, sharing, or talking about their feelings. Participants will learn various activities, energizers, and icebreakers that can be implemented while having fun, creating a safe space, and encouraging fruitful dialogue. Understanding how to deliver these activities is one part of the equation. However, learning how to facilitate the dialogues that follow activities will ensure we are successful in our ability to engage students, parents, and the professionals who serve them.
Learning objectives:
1. Participants will learn different manners to learn, interact, and communicate
2. Participants will increase their repertoire of activities that can serve as dialogue starters
3. This session will allow educators to improve their overall engagement and communication skills
4. Participants will learn the basics of effective facilitation
