© proverbial 50% filled glass as “half-full, never Sempty”. This is done initially through the teaching e of 12 verbal skills that will help a teacher com- = municate in a positive manner. Included in this = are ways of making an COO and “‘disap- = proval”’ statement. 3 & Teachers learn that an “authority statement” = such as saying “no” to a student, should always <t be accompanied by a reason (school policy or = safety factor). ad =] : Sif a “disapproval statement” is being made, the fteacher must focus on the ‘“‘act rather than the actor’. Thus the problem of a student throwing an eraser must be handled by a “I don’t like chil- =dren throwing erasers,”’ rather than by a “John, ol! don’t like it when your throw erasers at other ‘S children”. 2 <This avoidance of stating the problem in personal =terms is one of the key verbal skills involved in ‘Sachieving the second group of skills — the non- ‘xconfrontation and momentum strategies.

These are the techniques that help a teacher keep

things moving in a classroom once a positive learn. =

ing environment has been created.

During a normal day, a teacher might face 15 in- cidents that could lead to a confrontation be- = tween the teacher and a student or group of stu- dents. But he says 80% of these incidents may be avoided.

So, instead of stopping the class to admonish a student who: has been dropping his pencil, a tea- 5 cher could avoid a confrontation by standing be- © side the student, by establishing eye contact with S

him or by quietly taking the pencil away to use it > as a pointer.

The last group of skills is called group dynamics and decision-making.

This shows teachers how to sense the “‘social net- work” of a class and find out who the most in- fluential students are. The teacher thtn uses this in managing the classroom.

This course is spread over a 12-week Retod with, = one three hour évening session each week so the S teachers may practice what they learn between 3

sessions.

The course is sponsored by the B.C. Teacher’s Federation and its cost is subsidized by the Stik- ine School District.

Five of our girls will be going up to Whitehorse to compete in the Yukon Games March 13, 14 and 15 They are Tanya Radulovic, Dana Constable, Cor- inne Van Acker, Alexia Jones and Tamara Mul- rooney. The girls are presently working on their

routines and we wish them the best of luck. Our pro, Brenda, will be going up with the girls.

A meeting of the parents of the Figure Skating Club members was held on January 25. The main reason for the meeting was to start organizing the ice carnival for the opening night of Schmoo Daze A Carnival Committee was set up and arrange- ments for the show are now underway. The

theme this year is “Fairy Tales”. Since we have

more than doubled the number of members, the show should be bigger and better than last year.

Organizing a carnival involves a great deal of work.

Costumes and props have to be made and the routines choreographed. If -you feel you would like to help out in any way - even if you may not be involved with the Figure Skating Club — your help will be more than welcome. Please call Edna Millar, carnival convenor, 778-7297, or Kerry Jones, Props, 778-7371, or Alice Dyk, Costumes, 778-7621, or Brenda Tarasuk, Chore- graphy, 778-7785 for information.

Fund-raising ventures have been planned for the near future. A Spaghetti Dinner will be held dur- ing Schmoo Daze. Also, we will be having a Mo- ther’s Day Flower Sale. This was such a ‘success last year that we plan to bring in lots more flow- ers.
