Dependable Strengths for Educators

April 24 & 25, 2008
8:30 am to 3:30 pm

Des Moines, Washington
Highline Community College
Building 29, Room 203
South 240th & Pacific Hwy S.

This two-day workshop will prepare educators for grades 6 through 12 to incorporate the Dependable Strengths Articulation Process (DSAP) in their schools.

The aftermath of the school experience leaves many students believing they have little value and a dismal future. Even those students who do well in school have little awareness of their own unique strengths. How do we help all students realize their inherent, unique value; believe in themselves; find direction for the future; increase their hope; appreciate and respect the uniqueness of others; and
become motivated to be their “best self”? The DSAP is a proven tool for moving students toward these outcomes. Through research at the University of Washington, the DSAP has been shown to increase self-esteem, motivation and internal locus of control, plus increase respect and appreciation for others.

You will experience highlights of the DSAP to identify your own Dependable Strengths; then receive a special version of the Dependable Strengths curriculum, age-appropriate for your students. With assistance from workshop leaders, you will develop plans to use the DSAP in your school. Information and materials for creating a strengths-focused school will be included.

• Identify your own Dependable Strengths
• Receive a DS Curriculum manual at no additional cost (a $135 value)
• Experience and practice Dependable Strengths activities that you can turn around and use with students
• Experience the Internet version of the Dependable Strengths Articulation Process (DSi)
