Presented in three 8-hour days, the 7 Habits process by Stephen Covey is a lasting solution that helps build stronger organizations by strengthening the character and competence of the individuals who comprise them. This approach provides the most comprehensive foundation available for fostering positive change at all four levels of leadership: personal, interpersonal, managerial, and organizational. In turn, this solid foundation of principle-centered behavior makes other training initiatives in the organization more productive and valuable. Notes: Days 2 & 3, Feb 20 & 27, 2009; PH206, 8AM-5PM.

Anger is normal. It is a normal emotion that lets us know when something is wrong. What we do with our anger, how we express it (or not express it) is another story. Please, join us and explore what anger is all about. Share your experiences and discover how to work with the anger. Pick up some tools that may change stress and frustration into solution focused problem solving. Experience calm instead of chaos. Acknowledge your emotions and choose your response. Understand anger, accept anger, and express anger in a healthier, non-destructive way.

We don't always assess what we want students to be able to know and do with written exams. This workshop provides examples of concrete ways we can easily modify paper and pencil tests (even the ones from publishers, even T/F questions) to move from assessing lower cognitive dimensions (recall, understand) toward assessing higher cognitive dimensions (analyze, evaluate, create). Applicable to anyone in any discipline who assesses students with exams.
