or call CEYA for ordering information. Previews are not available and
CEYA will not accept returns.
1. BAENEN, JUDITH
H.E.L.P. How To Enjoy Living With A Pre-Adolescent (62 min) Highly
recommended for professional development/parent groups
In this keynote address, Judith Baenen uses humor with meaningful and
touching stories about the characteristics of young adolescents and
how to better live with them. She looks back on her 28 years of
teaching and uses her keen insight into the different stages of
pre-adolescence to contrast the sixth grader -- who knows everything
and wants to tell you everything that he/she knows, the seventh grader
-- who has experienced brain meltdown and the eighth grader -- who
thinks everyone in the entire world has his/her eyes on him. With
sensitivity and caring, Baenen explains how the nicest kids can behave
in the most awful ways and parents and teachers can survive these
years just as young adolescents can and do.
2. BAENEN, JUDITH
How To Motivate A Pre-Adolescent Without Playing An Electric Guitar
(59 min) Suggested for professional development
Judith Baenen uses her vast knowledge of the characteristics of young
adolescents to share with teachers in a humorous way specific
strategies to improve discipline and motivate students. She shows how
simple rules and their natural consequences for good and poor choices
is often enough to help a student to better understand what is
appropriate.Through her personal stories, she shows that eye contact,
giving consequences in an objective voice and having teachers trying
to be consistent can improve discipline. She advocates empowering
students to help them take more responsibility for their own learning
and their own actions without diminishing your power as a teacher.
Baenen suggests that students need to have a vision for what they can
and will become and that vision can be the strongest motivator of all.
3. BAENEN, JUDITH
Motivating The Motivator (45 min) Suggested for professional
development
With compelling and humorous stories, Baenen describes how
professional sports teams and big business spend big bucks to hire
motivators, but teachers, who are the motivators themselves, are often
not given self motivational skills. Baenen reflects on her experience
as an educator of young adolescents to give suggestions on how to
motivate the teachers themselves. She points out five inhibitors to
the motivation of teachers, including they have too much to do and
will never get done, there are no concrete achievable objectives in
teaching, there are alternative methods of doing everything teachers
do, there is a constant conflict with our clientele and teacher
bashing exists everywhere. She addresses each of these and gives ideas
to better motivate the motivators.
