Two students and a teacher will facilitate this exciting experience. We will, together, understand why students disengage from school and even choose violence. We will also discuss, discover and understand what is involved in re-linking with "at-risk" students as partners in learning. For three days we will work together to develop competency based classroom models at every level K-12, culminating with a complete lesson plan.

Course Participants Will:

• Understand the human control system
• Be able to explain how this relates to disengaged kids and school violence
• Discuss systemic actions needed to reduce/eliminate violence in schools
• Discuss implementation of self-assessment within their classroom
• Construct a complete lesson, using the EALRs that can be applied to their classroom
