Accountability and Effective Communication in the Workplace
Accountability is often viewed as a negative concept. When it is viewed as a positive team characteristic which, not only the employees/ teachers/supervisors own but also the managers/administrators/ supervisors endorse, the team works in a cohesive manner to meet the goals of the organization. When communication is effective between the boss and the employee, a relationship of psychological safety and trust is built. The concept of accountability will be explored from a positive perspective. Effective communication will be examined through actual experiences which participants will be asked to share.

Conflict Resolution and Anger Management
Classes are geared to help the children develop interpersonal skills, communicate more effectively with each other, tolerate others when necessary, and increase their awareness of what makes them angry and how to manage their anger. With an increased availability to view violence through video games, music videos and the Internet, it is important that the messages they receive (although sometimes seemingly innocent) are balanced with doctrines of right and wrong.

Diversity and Tolerance
Classes are geared towards students respecting and appreciating differences. Two key variables are conveyed in the program to help the students develop greater social awareness and empathic feelings.
