Why Build A Birdhouse?
Dubbed by audiences as a “breath of fresh air” to teachers, administrators or others involved in the education process, this hilarious and thought-provoking message will refuel the audience’s enthusiasm for education and for life. Topics addressed include:

• Affirming the impact of their efforts on students, colleagues and the community

• Recognizing the need to balance professional and personal roles

• Striving for excellence instead of mediocrity

A New Year Begins… So What?
Ah yes, shiny hallways, clean rooms and a new school year. Teachers are motivated and the students are eager to learn. Unfortunately, all that positive energy will disappear by the third or fourth day of school, if that long. In this humorous and engaging presentation, Jones provides simple strategies to:

• Maintain focus as the intensity of the school year increases

• Create a positive attitude that focuses on solutions instead of problems

• Develop relationships with others that serve as a source of strength in difficult times

• Keep their role as educator in perspective with other roles in their life

Avoiding Burnout/Stress Reduction
Has teaching become a necessary evil in the lives of your educators? Something that simply seems to conflict with their personal endeavors? Perhaps they have just given so much to teaching but feel like they get so little in return. Whatever their situation, this solution is for them. Expect participants to leave this program with improved professional and personal focus as they take a humorous and thought-provoking look at their own internal obstacles to being their best both in and out of the classroom. Excellent inservice activity for teachers who have been teaching 3 weeks or 30 years.
