Tonight: Teaching Workshop

Teachers, what will your classroom look like this year?

Before the start of the new school year, renowned educational consultant Rabbi Yaakov Sputz will lead a teaching workshop in Crown Heights.

Picture your students sitting in neatly aligned rows. Their eyes are fixed upon you as you speak. There is no scuffling. There is no noise. Seem unlikely? While many of us wish for perfect order, a smoothly running classroom is often elusive.

Bais Rivkah – Division of Higher Learning is offering a workshop to help you start your year off right. All (female) teachers are invited to join Rabbi Yaakov Sputz as he discusses no-nonsense strategies to help assure success in the learning process and avoid behavior problems — even when the classroom is a bee-hive of activity.

The workshop will be held Wednesday, August 31st , 1 Elul at 7:15 pm in the Bais Rivkah – DHL building which is located at 310 Crown Street (in the former Head Start building) between New York and Nostrand Avenues. There is a $15 suggested donation.

Rabbi Yaakov Sputz is a renowned educator and acclaimed behavioral therapist who serves as a consultant to many Yeshivos and teacher-training programs in the greater New York area.
