—— WORKSHOP OUTLINE
This workshop was developed in 2006 amidst heightened gang and youth violence issues across the U.S. It is designed to address the disconnect between at-risk students and the instructors that lead them.
EOM helps teachers, youth service providers, and college administrators understand where the behavior issues they see in their most challenging students come from.
It also teaches them how social biases, and student upbringing can affect student outcomes and what you can do to change them. Through the EOM participants gain evidence-based tools to help close the achievement gap through a research-based solution focused mentorship approach. The book “The Eye of the Mentor: Hip to the Game” written by Travis Corpening can be purchased by training participants as a take-home guide to supplement the tools learned during the workshop.
We have helped numerous participants develop the simple understanding of:
- Why students feel fighting is a viable option to problem solve.
- How a youth service provider from a totally different background can understand and meet students where they are.
- How music and popular culture change the environment of your classroom.
- The psychology of negative social peer groups (such as gangs) as well as signs, symbols, and activity to look for.
