Fred Jones Tools for Teaching: Discipline, Instruction, Motivation-
• Fred Jones has been a pioneer in developing the fundamental skills of classroom management for over 35 years. His instructional methods increase learning time and mastery while his non-adversarial techniques of discipline management help even the most oppositional students become valued members of the group.
Dr. Jones will share the techniques of highly successful teachers - the "naturals" - who make success in discipline look easy. He will emphasize procedures in the classroom that are low-key, reduce teacher stress, protect the student, and most importantly, self-eliminate. Negative techniques such as put downs and humiliation are replaced with strategies which create a cooperative classroom environment. The most common comment given by veterans and new teachers alike is "Why didn't I get this in college?"
Dr. Jones is internationally recognized for his workshops which have trained thousands of teachers and administrators to use his management program. He is the author of McGraw-Hill's Positive Classroom Discipline and Positive Classroom Instruction. His widely acclaimed new book, Tools for Teaching: Discipline, Instruction, Motivation, won the Independent Book Sellers Award in 2001 and the coveted Golden Lamp of the Educational Publishers Association in 2002.
Tools for Teaching: Discipline, Instruction, Motivation by Fred Jones is included in the workshop fee. FREE to Missouri S&T Faculty, Staff and Students. The workshop will be held on October 7, 2008 from 9:00 am- 3:30 pm in the St. Pat’s Ballroom of the Havener Center . Register online at rpdc.mst.edu. If you have any questions, please call South Central RPDC at 1-800-667-0665.
Student Design Center News
• The Charles Henry Hammarstand Goodwin Scholarship has been awarded to Lisa Battern, senior in Electrical Engineering and member of the Solar House team. The merit based scholarship was established in honor of Charles Goodwin, a university student who died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident several years ago. His parents established the scholarship to support students that participate in the student design teams.
Also, five Engineers Without Borders students were awarded $1,000 each from the Gavin Bradford Donahue Memorial Scholarship established through the Alumni Association. Gavin was struck by a car and fatally injured in the summer of 2007 while working on a construction project near St. Louis. The students receiving the scholarships are:
Will Kirby, senior in Civil/Architectural EngineeringLucas Rottler, senior in Civil/Architectural EngineeringJennifer Hoffman, junior in Aerospace EngineeringKatie Fritts, junior in Mechanical EngineeringJennifer Kelley, senior in Civil Engineering
The SDELC has completed the first phase of their project management training in which the teams have submitted proposals for their design projects in 2008 and 2009. The second phase consists of a peer group of design team members who will review proposals and submit their comments to the SDELC. This process gives students the opportunity to read and review what others have written. At the same time it gives the student the ability to participate in the management process of determining the grants provided to teams as well as the level of support. Our goal is to receive constructive feedback, giving students the insight to make their project plans stronger for even greater success in the future.
