Lo-Ellen Park hosts workshop about the impact of emotions on learning

This event has been postponed due to weather.

Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School will host an interactive workshop about the connection between emotions and learning on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at 7 pm.

Guest speaker, Angie DeMarco of the Learning Disabilities Association of Sudbury, will discuss the association between a student’s ability to self-regulate while learning in a structured educational environment.

During the workshop, parents/guardians will explore new research focused on how a learning brain develops and reacts based on its experiences. Parents/guardians will also learn how to help their children correct or redirect disruptive moods and/or impulses at home and in the classroom.
