How do you survive the first few weeks of school, so that the rest of the year is a powerful learning experience for all? In "Surviving the First Two Weeks of School", you will get tips on the many roles of teachers, organizing your classroom, creating learning centers, involving parents and family, and team-building activities to help "break the ice" of this new beginning.
