[Ailist] Workshop ideas for Teachers

[Cindy Manning]

Hello Anu,
    I have used material inspired from Dave Meier's Accelerated  
Learning program.  http://www.alcenter.com/alindex.html

  He presents wonderful activity-based learning strategies with  
understanding of different learning styles.  While this doesn't  
answer your question about character-building (I know there is stuff  
out there, but can't put my finger on it), it does support excellent  
teaching and curriculum development.

Good luck!
Cindy
