This week we switched up the pace a little bit with group 1 and explored study skills. As all youth in the group are either in High School or College, it is important that they know their learning styles and how they study best. By taking the time to find out how they study best, and learning and reviewing some effective study skill strategies, we hope that it will help the group of youth stay on the right track and also improve their academic performance. |

 We are so excited that we will be facilitating 'Bringing Out The Leader From Within,' our 8 week Teen Leadership Programme, with another group of 20 youths in Grand Turk. As there were a number of students that were unable to register for the first group, the National AIDS Programme has decided to sponsor another group of 20 students. There are still a few spots available. To register contact Mrs. Aldora Robinson, Coordinator of the National AIDS programme at (649) 946 1675. A programme description can also be found here.  On Friday March 16th we conducted a workshop on Personality & Self Esteem for the 2012 TCI Top Model Contest contestants. I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed working with the contestants. I look forward to following their journey and seeing them strut their stuff in the May competition. Keep up the great work!

 I'd like to take the time to thank Mrs. Malcolm and the Primary Education Students at the Turks and Caicos Community College in Provo. They invited me to do a guest lecture on Children's Literature in the Primary Education Classroom. We had a great time. We discussed the power of children's literature, how to use it as a teaching tool, how to use children's literature to address difficult topics, how to use children's literature across the curriculum and a number of other topics. I was impressed by the enthusiams of the students and touched by their warmth...and of course the beautiful potluck that they put together! I hope to work with you again and look forward to working with you as collegues in the future! This past Friday I made the trip to Providenciales to facilitate a workshop at the Cheshire Hall Medical Center. We had a fantastic group of participants that were fun to work with and were up for lively results based discussions. Unfortunetly, I have no pictures to share this time. Although I had my camera, I was so wrapped up in the workshop that I forgot to take it out and snap a few shots while the participants were working on their activities. Thanks again for the invitation InterHealth Canada! We look forward to future workshops! | Yolande RobinsonMany parents/teachers have questions that they would like to ask about their child's/ students' academic, social or emotional development.
