Seminar Descriptions:
Reading on Autism
This one credit course will incorporate a book study that will engage the participants in an understanding of autism spectrum disorder as it takes them through a humanistic journey in which a mother and daughter discover and explore the challenges that exist in finding a diagnosis and answers for children with special needs. Participants are asked to purchase the book, Aubrey’s Journey, by D.L. Clarke.
The Motivating Power of Reading for Pleasure
Many students associate reading with school work and, consequently, they become reluctant readers, avoiding reading whenever possible. This one credit course will consider the potentially powerful role reading for pleasure can have in motivating reluctant readers. The course will examine current literature related to pleasure reading. It will also give participants the opportunity to engage in some pleasure reading of their own.
Outside readings will be required.
Cost:
Continuing Ed. (Act 48) hours cost $150 per 30 clock hours.
