Seminar and Workshop
Presentations Suitable For Individual Viewing or Classroom
Instruction Will Soon Be Published And Arranged On This Site For Use
Free of Charge By Students, Teachers, Parents & Grandparents |
 Business
leaders and professionals love to give seminars and workshops
to students as a way of sharing their experiences and
knowledge. Teachers appreciate the opportunity to bring in
guest speakers to reinforce the concepts and skills that are
being taught as part of the curriculum. Unfortunately, these
experts from the community are not always available at the
most appropriate times, and moreover can only be in one place
at a time.
THE LEARNING CLINIC EDUCATION CENTRE is pleased to announce
that we will be producing a number of video seminars and
workshops on a variety of topics that will be designed to
enhance the education of students of all ages.
These presentations will be available to students, teachers
and parents "on demand" and will be supported with
resource material and program guides that can be used for
self-guidance or by a teacher to conduct lessons in the
classroom.
I will be working with business leaders, professional
service providers, and institutional experts from both the
public and private sector to publish a wide variety of video
seminars over the coming months and years. My goal is to
assemble a "bank of seminars" on topics such as
financial literacy, entrepreneurship, health and wellness,
natural resources and alternative careers among others in an
effort to provide classroom teachers with pedogically sound
resources that can be called upon when needed. You can now
have a guest speaker come to your classroom through the power
of the internet and you can use the presentation in any way
you feel will be most effective with your students. Furthermore,
parents will be able to use the videos to engage in
discussions with their own children.

A VARIETY OF RESOURCES AT YOUR
DISPOSAL
The video seminars on demand will add another
dimension to THE LEARNING CLINIC EDUCATION CENTRE that
will help students of all ages achieve their education
and career development goals.
Besides the video seminars, teachers and parents will
also have access to numerous resources in the form of
radio programs, links to online resources, on-site
documents, motivational editorials and stories, and
special sections where we discuss current trends and
challenges in the fields of education, training and
career development.
My role as an Independent Education & Career
Development Consultant is to make sure that students,
parents and teachers have everything they need to meet
their respective responsibilities for meeting their
objectives.

| RECOMMENDED ONLINE
PRESENTATIONS
In addition to the video presentations that will be produced by
sponsors of The Learning Clinic Education Centre, I will also be
searching the internet to find other video presentations that I feel
will be of benefit to students, teachers, parents and grandparents
with respect to education and career development.
As we produce our own seminars we will post
them below.
In the meantime, we will continue to assemble some other
video presentations that we feel our readers may appreciate. |

EMPIRE OF THE WORD
A special series available on TVO
Eight years in the making, Empire of the Word is a compelling
look inside the act of reading and traces its impact on more than
five thousand years of human history. Introduced and narrated by one
of the world's great readers, Canadian writer Alberto Manguel, the
series traces reading's origins; examines how we learn to read;
exposes censors' attempts to prevent our reading; and finally,
proposes what the future might hold for this most human of creative
acts. |

ONTARIO LITERACY & NUMERACY SERIES
This link will take you to the TVO site where you will find
numerous video clips on all kinds of important topics concerning
education and career development. Some of the videos also contain a
link to a sub-page where the main video is split up into smaller
segments for discussion purposes |
| Beyond The Basics: What should
schools teach kids?
This video is a 28 minute panel discussion about what elementary
school children need to progress not only through public school, but
post-secondary and beyond. It's clear kids have to learn the basics
- like reading , writing, and math. But experts say they also need
to learn how to communicate, collaborate, think critically, and
problem solve. The question is, "Are they getting the chance to
hone those skills in public school?" You can get the full video
by going to the link to the right.
You can also go to another page that breaks up the longer video
into five smaller segments, with each shorter video focusing on a
specific question that is part of the larger video. That link is
here: EPISODE

There is another link to ARTICLES
that contain a list of very relevant topics that deal with concerns
