        AJ, a participant at our first Fall Sparks training, has this to say about it...
  • Debriefing or "How to make activities into dynamic learning opportunities" -- October 19, 2011 -- Sierra Health Foundation
    • Thirty-five participants explored the strategies for leading engaging and thought-provoking discussion after an event or activity in order to help youth process and learn from what happened.
    • These reflection strategies help develop critical 21st century skills for youth: communicating, listening, critical thinking and problem solving
  • Dealing with Negative Behaviors, Positively -- November 16, 2011-- Sierra Health Foundation
    • Develop an arsenal of asset-based strategies for addressing problem behaviors that pop up in all groups. 
    • These tools will assist you in shifting your mindset and approach so that you can be positive, proactive and effective in dealing with challenging behaviors, without feeling like a grouch or policeman.
