| EMPLOYERS FOR LEARNING: WORKSHOPS
A key facet of the Employers for Learning Program are workshop
presentations designed to help parents and other family members
help children succeed in school.
These workshops are designed to be presented in the workplace by
staff members authorized by their place of business. For example,
companies can schedule a “Lunch ‘n Learn” or “Brown
Bag” workshop so that staff members may eat lunch at the same
time. Each workshop is outlined in a Powerpoint presentation that
includes notes on the subject and a list of other helpful resources.
The workshops vary in length, but are designed to be presented
in approximately 30 minutes or less, leaving time for questions
if held during a lunch hour.
Companies that would prefer to have a representative from Newport
News Public Schools conduct the workshop may call the Community
Relations office at 591-4545 to schedule a workshop. There is no
charge for this service.
Workshop topics include the following (linked to Powerpoint presentations
you can use in your workshop; please right click on link and
choose "Save Target (or Link) As" to save presentation
to your computer). After saving to your computer, open the Powerpoint
presentation and go to the “View” button on the top
left hand side of the page. From there you can go to “Notes
Page” to print the Powerpoint with notes for you as the presenter,
or “Normal” for you to print as handouts for the audience.
