Dr. Peters will be presenting "Engaging Every Learner" on June 13, 2008, as a part of the 2008 Summer Leadership Retreat. According to Dr. Peters, "today's students are different than ever before, requiring educators to utilize a different approach to teaching them." Designed for both teachers and administrators, participants will learn his three-pronged steps to effective teaching and learning. Once implemented, classroom experiences will be greatly enhanced as students begin to take on a more active role as a results of "being captured and inspired."
