My teaching stuff
hi everyone.
Sorry i haven't been able to make it to the meetings.  I was looking 
at my stuff from camp and had the following questions.

        -There is alot of sort of hard material (hard emotionally) 
	such as discloseurs of abuse, dangerous campers, eating disorders, 
	etc.  I could see this being done as one morning or afternoon (and it 
	being a intense day).  Or I could see spliting it into 2 or 3 shorter 
	sessions.  (There are some natural breaks so it wouldn't feel 
	incomplete after the first session.  They could each be 
	selfcontained).  What would you ladies prefer?  I know these things 
	are harder for some to talk about than others.  If you are one of 
	those people would everything at once be too overwhelming?

        -Secondly, when would you like those sessions to be (am I 
	right when I assume people thought they'd be in the second semester)

        -Thirdly, I also found a bunch of stuff about girls (self 
	esteem, breaking down gender bariers, activites which facilitate 
	these, etc)  Is this something people would be interested in?  I 
	could do a session/explaination thing about those too (it would be 
	much shorter and more informal than the other sessions), or I could 
	just photocopy info and give it to whoever is the person who should 
	have it. (In addition to the copies I could explain it to the one 
	person (whoever that point person is)).

        -Lastly, I just wanted to remind people that I have alot of 
	random knowledge about working with girls that age.  (attention span, 
	level of independance, emotional/social development, etc.) I wanted 
	to put myself out as a resource for you all.  Feel free to ask me 
	questions, or run stuff by me (especially stuff like structure of the 
	day, and curriculum).

	Hope everyone is doing well.  Have a great thanksgiving.
