1-2 hour live presentation by one senior Wavelength
ensemble member.
Also available as a half-day session.
Empower your group with one of the most potent technologies
known to education — the ability to use humor

that can enhance and enthuse any teacher's classroom and
collegial work.

and Inspirational
We review the research and provide the theories, forms and
styles of humor that support student achievement. But
we don't stop there. In addition to humorous examples,
anecdotes, cartoons and video clips, the presenter guides
the audience through improvisational activities and laughter
exercises designed to boost energy, enhance spontaneity,
increase collaboration and develop the ability to create
a fun, healthy climate for learning and living.
This presentation has received terrific reviews nationally
(AASA, ASCD, NASSP, NAESP and NSDC) and internationally
in Prague, the Hague, Singapore (twice), Manila, and Ho
(ho, ho,) Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
