Program Description
CoolSpeak is proud to present the ENGAGE: Youth Engagement Seminar & SHOWCASE, a training and teacher professional development seminar and workshop that will focus on student engagement best practices and researched techniques. Our full program consists of a full three-day immersive session. Participants will learn, experience, and practice some of the most effective strategies to cultivate internal motivation, improve emotional intelligence, and enhance critical thinking skills. If you don’t have the available time for a complete three-day experience, we can modify ENGAGE to accommodate sessions into workshops and conferences. Let’s work together to ENGAGE your teaching staff! Whatever the level of expertise, after ENGAGE, teachers will be prepared to redesign existing programs or develop and execute new, more successful lessons, programs and events for youth.
Call today to discuss your school’s or district’s needs!
