Description At
Successful inclusion requires creative and responsive accommodations to support children
with diverse abilities.
B, EPC, NC
Positive Behavior Support addresses the fact
that all children display some type of behavioral challenge. However, some children have
a more difficult time managing their behavior,
and often times this may be related to the disability they have. This video training focuses
on how to prevent negative behaviors before
they occur and how to create environments
that offer positive behavior support to children
with behavioral challenges.
B, EPC, NC
Starting the journey to inclusion requires an
understanding of the past, and a philosophy for the future. This training will provide
program staff, leadership and volunteers with
the tools necessary to fully understand the
rationale for including children with disabilities.

Engineers
to the Rescue
Grades ?
You’re on a camping trip with your Girl Scout troop
at Yellowstone National Park. Your first day at Yellowstone was incredible; you hiked in the morning,
saw Old Faithful in the afternoon and then sang
camp songs under the stars. You also learned that
Yellowstone is situated on a bed of lava and that
minor earthquakes are frequent…and that night an
earthquake occurred for 2 minutes- just enough time
to break the water pumps, disrupt your energy generators and throw your animal proof food box into a
ravine. The good news is that your Girl Scout troop/
group is safe and you’re equipped with volunteers
who can help you engineer your way to the rescue.
Your mission is to make a wind powered crank to
lift your food box, build a shelter to withstand any
aftershocks and design a car prototype to get your
message to potential rescuers. Are you in?

What do toys, cookie packages and bubbles all have
in common? They’re all developed by engineers!
First, challenge yourself to be a toy designer, brainstorming, drawing up plans and building a prototype.
Then, explore being a Product Designer and a client
by collaborating to build the perfect pencil bag.
Next, become a packaging engineer as you create
shipping materials that prevent your cookies from
crumbling. Finally, put it all together as you and your
team try on four hats at once — mechanical and
chemical engineer, marketing specialist and product
manager — as you work together to make a new
bubble product a giant success.
