As a companion and follow-up to the very informative and successful, “Minds of Boys” workshop held in December, the South Brunswick Parent Academy returns in 2012 with a workshop dedicated to the learning and education of girls. The workshop, “Sugar & Spice and Not Everything Nice? Understanding & Raising Successful Daughters,” will be presented on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at Crossroads North Middle School. In this workshop, participants will continue to learn about the brain-based research that supports the belief that males and females do learn differently, and discover what these gender differences tell us about learning. From this common ground, attention will now be turned to the girls: offering specific information and strategies to participants to help them navigate the delicate balance among girls’ physical, social, emotional, cultural and academic needs and wants. A “can’t-miss” workshop for anyone interested in the education of girls!
The January 31st program will run from 7-8:30 p.m. and will be held at Crossroads North Middle School. As with all SBPA workshops, childcare will be provided. Interested parties can register online by visiting the District's Web site, www.sbschools.org and clicking the South Brunswick Parent Academy icon or by Emailing SBPA@sbparents.org. If you are emailing your registration, be sure to include your name, telephone number, email address, your child’s grade and the ages of any children that may require childcare (please note, childcare is not available for children under the age of 3).
The South Brunswick Parent Academy is a collaboration of the South Brunswick School District and Every Person Influences Children (EPIC). EPIC is a non-profit organization whose programming is funded in South Brunswick by the South Brunswick Board of Education and a grant from the South Brunswick Municipal Alliance, as part of the NJ Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.
