New workshops at the 2011 CORE National Conference at the Milton Hershey School.
This is just a sneak-peak at what we have in store for you:
Preparing Students for Career Success — The Power of Partnerships:
Presented by Robert Kemmery and Linda Rooney Davis of the Milton Hershey School (PA)
Students at the Milton Hershey School are better positioned for a successful entry into postsecondary education and the world of work having experienced a solid academic platform AND having all gone through relevant career / technical programs, including work experiences in local companies.
The Cottage Experience:
Presented by Heath Kull of The New Mexico Boys and Girls Ranches, Inc. (NM)
Learn about this 5-day intensive experiential residential training program wherein residential staff live in a cottage as students do. This greatly “reduces the systemic, rules-based tendencies of our staff.” says Kull.
Reducing Restraint and Seclusion in the RE Setting:
Presented by James Freeman of Casa Pacifica (CA)
“When less time is spent on crisis intervention and addressing challenging behaviors, more time can be invested in delivering high-quality education and services.” says Freeman. Casa Pacifica’s program is getting terrific results, and being replicated across the country.
