School still matters to a child or adolescent facing cancer. With childhood cancer survival rates now nearing 80%, most young cancer patients will find themselves going back to school. But will they be accepted and understood by their peers? Academically, will they be months behind? Will the effects of their treatment interfere with their learning abilities? This seminar addresses these questions, and offers professionals and families intimate, real-life case studies of five kids of differing age, race and genders who have walked this road. In short, compelling documentary stories, we meet four childhood cancer survivors, and one sibling of a patient, and follow their struggles, in some cases years beyond their actual cancer treatment. Utilizing footage edited from over 500 hours of documentary material from the Emmy Award-winning PBS film A LION IN THE HOUSE, this seminar offers the opportunity to witness and discuss the many hidden challenges in school for children with cancer. |

The Art Education Directors of Greater Cincinnati presents a day-long workshop for educators and administrators who would like to learn how to engage their students through the arts and increase their critical thinking, creativity and communication skills.
Philip Yenawine, co-founder of Visual Understanding in Education (www.vue.org) will share his national program, Visual Thinking Strategies. This is a strategy that integrates visual art usefully into ongoing classroom practice and a window into facilitating open-ended discussions that students enjoy and learn from equally.
Margot Greenlee, company member with the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange (www.danceexchange.org), will provide the tools to integrate dance fundamentals AND literacy skills with your teaching. Learn how to invite your students into the creative process through dance and reinforce their learning at the same time. Discover how to turn your classroom into a dance studio and learning laboratory.
A $20.00 fee (cash or check made out to Cincinnati Arts Association) will be collected the day of the workshop. |
