THIS COURSE QUALIFIES FOR STATE<br />
TRAINING GRANTS<br />
Hours: 170<br />
Training: Students will train at a seven-acre<br />
trucking terminal and then in the final<br />
weeks on the road. The practice area is in an<br />
isolated, low traffic area to make for a<br />
comfortable learning environment, while<br />
students are negotiating basic maneuvers<br />
during the early weeks. School trucks are not<br />
limited to this area only, especially after the<br />
first weeks when they move to the road<br />
course. A simulated road course allows<br />
students to become familiar with the trucks<br />
they will be driving before they hit the<br />
highway. This involves shifting up and down<br />
through the gears, as well as maneuvering<br />
a 48–53 foot trailer around corners and<br />
between other vehicles. As you drive through<br />
the course, you are accompanied by an<br />
instructor who provides encouragement not<br />
only on driving techniques, but also defensive<br />
driving procedures. After you have<br />
become proficient with basic backing skills,<br />
you can then move to more sophisticated<br />
maneuvers in the yard involving other<br />
vehicles and trailers found at customer<br />
locations. Normal traffic associated with the<br />
truck terminal adds to the learning experience<br />
as students practice doing what truckers<br />
do many times a day. 17 CEUs<br />

An Introduction to Teaching<br />
ESL/EFL — Online<br />
Would you like to increase your effectiveness<br />
as an English language teacher? Would you<br />
like to go beyond the well-known methods<br />
that often leave teachers frustrated with their<br />
one-size-fits-all approach? This course will<br />
take you on a fascinating exploration of what<br />
it means to be a teacher, how to understand<br />
who your students are and the needs they<br />
have, and how to choose the most appropriate<br />
materials and activities for your classroom.<br />
You’ll learn how you can choose and fine-tune<br />
the principles that exactly fit your teaching<br />
situation. During the next six weeks, we’ll<br />
rethink the traditional native vs. non-native<br />
speaker distinction, see why teaching English<br />
is so different from teaching other subjects,<br />
and explore innovative approaches like<br />
Communicative Language Teaching and the<br />
lexical approach. You’ll gain new insights and<br />
ideas for teaching vocabulary, grammar,<br />
listening, speaking, reading, and writing.<br />
You’ll also discover what some of your<br />
options are in designing fair and accurate<br />
tests. And you’ll learn how to keep learning<br />
and growing throughout your teaching career.<br />

step-by-step approach to effective, positive<br />
classroom discipline. Teachers continually<br />

Writing a Business Plan<br />
Successful businesses start with a strong<br />
business plan. Comprehensive business plans<br />
include financial projections, an industry<br />
analysis, and a complete marketing plan.<br />
A business plan demonstrates the viability<br />
of the business and communicates a person’s<br />
ability to manage the business. This course<br />
introduces the format of a business plan,<br />
the information that should be included,<br />
and most importantly where a person will<br />
find the appropriate information to create<br />
a business plan. (No business plan need be<br />
created at this point. That will occur at or<br />
after the one-on-one counseling session,<br />
since the groundwork has been laid in this<br />
program.)<br />

best to prepare for the test and how the<br />
guessing factor can be used to significantly<br />
increase your scores. Proper test preparation<br />
greatly helps to minimize the dangerous<br />

many students. Half of the sessions are spent<br />

Forgiveness – A Healing<br />
Journey<br />
An eight-session workshop series for<br />
individuals who have been hurt by people<br />
or events in their lives. Individuals who have<br />
been emotionally and/or physically hurt in<br />
the past may continue to suffer many years<br />
later as a result of their prior experiences. As<br />
a result of prior hurt and pain, some of the<br />
following situations may occur. An individual<br />
may experience high levels of anger and<br />
frustration, may be afraid to trust other<br />
people due to the fear of being hurt again,<br />
may engage in self destructive behaviors, or<br />
may even treat loved ones badly. During this<br />
eight-session workshop, individuals will learn<br />
ways to relieve the hurt and pain so that they<br />
can move on with their lives. They will also<br />
learn how to let go of anger. Holding on to<br />
anger requires a great deal of emotional<br />
energy and keeps a person tied to the past.<br />
In order to move on to a healthier life in the<br />
future, a person must make a conscious<br />
decision to let go of anger from the past.<br />
Learning to forgive is an important part<br />
of the healing process.<br />
