(E) WHAT THIS WORKSHOP IS ABOUT

This workshop is about pedagogic techniques which are based on concepts concerning behavior, communication, response, language and brain processes. The seeds for these techniques may go back to the 1930's, but more recently they have resulted from the development of some work started by John Grinder and Richard Bandler nearly thirty years ago. By now, this eclectic and formally esoteric work has developed into a discipline that is now a widespread part of therapeutics, teaching and professional and personal development. While the organizers of this presentation are withholding any claim for these techniques being a panacea, we are hoping that participants will come away with some tools to take back to the classroom. We are hoping that participants will find themselves working with the behaviors and responses of their students instead of against them. We hope that your teaching may become less stressful and more effective. back to the top

(F) A STATEMENT FROM THE INSTRUCTOR'S ABSTRACT

In this two day workshop you will learn a series of these NLP techniques that will allow you to become an even better teacher. You will learn methods to elicit and maintain optimal states in both yourself and your students. You will become proficient at anchoring, a procedure for eliciting specific responses from your students by controlling physical, spatial, linguistic, and meta-linguistic cues. You will learn how to mirror your students, both physically and verbally, to insure increased levels of communication. You will master the use of embedded commands, which allow you to indirectly change you students' behaviors. You will develop the flexibility to control your own internal state when dealing with those problem students. back to the top
