Developing a New "Social Contract" Between Students and Teac

Pre-Recorded: Developing a New "Social Contract" Between Students and Teachers - Part Two Developing a social contract for adult learners, specifically for those diagnosed with mental or physical disabilities requires a change in attitudes, behavior, and expectations. The expectations and attitudes of faculty and students are frequently misunderstood and this usually results in frustrations that often go unresolved. This lack of resolution and lack of clearly stated expectations often lead to behaviors associated with “burn out”, “drop out”, or violent confrontations. Listeners are encouraged to learn how White Apple Institute staff (www.whiteappleinstitute.org) develop social contracts that help teachers, as well as adult learners, change their behavior, deal with consequences, identify what reinforces or rewards their behaviors, and examine how behaviors become internalized.

Tips for Unemployed/Underemployed, Students&Teachers

Pre-Recorded: Tips for Unemployed/Underemployed, Students&Teachers Part 1 of 2 The problem of unemployment and underemployment is facing Americans and citizens of other countries. The media reports a global recession that is not painting a promising future. Hopelessness is being experienced by many with college degrees, as well as those with no high school diploma or GED. The closing of schools, college programs, and work training programs would lead us to believe that teachers are being laid-off but contrary to this belief teachers are not experiencing the unemployment blues as much as adult students. A major research study from the U.S. Department of Labor reveals that teachers under public school systems are not facing severe unemployment rates as many had thought. Therefore, we ask teachers, especially college faculty, to use their wisdom and show empathy and compassion for students and parents who may be dealing with finding jobs, trying to make schedules fit and pay for tuition and books in this economy.
