Instructor Speaker Series: Register Now!
Who: PacPrep & Tutor Corps Instructors
When: Wedn., August 3, 12-1 pm PT
Pacific Preparatory and Tutor Corps are pleased to present our Instructors with an exclusive conversation with Dr. Vicki Waller, #1 Best-selling Author of YES! Your Child Can and Tutor to the Stars.
In this hour-long, interactive workshop, Vicki will share her creative tools for truly engaging elementary-aged, neuro-divergent students in the learning process. Her expertise is in unlocking students' passions and interests, and using those to teach fundamental reading and writing skills in unique ways.
Vicki's stories about her connections with President Clinton's secret service detail, the Eisner family (You know, the Disney guy!), Kourtney Kardashian's kids, will keep YOU engaged and entertained, and she'll share inspiring stories of her most successful students and some wildly entertaining vignettes of her work over the years. She'll also share a comprehensive list of her best ideas so you can walk away with a fresh inspiration for your own students (and maybe go buy her book too!).
Sign up today to reserve your spot and get a coffee on us! Zoom link sent upon registration.
About the facilitator
For over 40 years, Vicki has been a reading specialist and educational therapist. She helps children ages 5-11 who have trouble reading and writing, can't sit still in class, don't feel like they can participate—children whom teachers have all but given up on. She holds a B.S in Education from Wayne State University, an M.Ed., and an Ed.D. focusing on reading and learning differences from the University of Cincinnati. She has been awarded the University of Cincinnati’s Distinguished Alumna College of Education Award, was one of three finalists for the L.A. Music Center’s Bravo Award for Outstanding Teaching, and was named the Local Hero in the L.A. Times for my Printer Pal Program, connecting students with nursing home occupants.
