TAKING CREDIT: Understanding Loans, Credit Cards, and Other Debts
Some people have a hard time qualifying for a loan, while others can walk into a bank empty-handed and leave with
thousands of dollars in credit. The same goes for credit cards - although most consumers carry several, for an unfortunate
few they are out of reach. But no matter how easy or difficult it is to borrow money, one thing is certain: paying it back is
the real challenge. This program helps high school and college-level viewers understand the basics of financial credit
systems, the best ways to obtain and manage credit, and how credit decisions can influence one's future. Focusing on credit
cards, car loans, student loans, and mortgages, the program offers lighthearted dramatizations that illustrate good and bad
borrowing and spending habits and highlight discipline as the key to a great credit rating and sustained financial health.
Students will also encounter the four C's of lending - capacity, credit, capital, and collateral.

TEACHING: Professional Development
THE HEALTHY TEACHER
Being a teacher today is an incredibly rewarding experience - but it can also be
stressful. Maybe its long hours or a heavy workload, possibly it's the particular
school environment, perhaps it's even parental pressure creating the stress.
Whatever the cause, it's vital that you approach your teaching career with an
awareness of the aspects of the job that can cause stress and be informed about
finding a healthy balance between work and life. In this program we follow a
typical day in the lives of two teachers - experienced professionals who have got
the balance right. Through them, this professional development program explores
the areas that affect teacher's physical, emotional and social wellbeing in
reducing stresses and anxiety. It will examine the importance of healthy eating, physical activity, wellness and mind matters
and their essential role in achieving optimal health within the teaching profession. An informative, practical and motivational
resource for both new and established teachers. Chapters: 1. Balancing Work and Life 2. Healthy Eating 3. Physical Activity 4.

CONDUCTING PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES: A Partnership in Progress
To run a successful parent-teacher conference, educators need a wide range of skills at their disposal - and a healthy supply
of confidence. This video builds both, providing solutions to the problems and frustrations that many teachers face when
interacting with parents and guardians. Also explores step-by-step preparation strategies - including specific knowledge and
data to have at hand, the best ways to introduce topics of concern and personalized feedback, and the communication and
conflict-resolution skills needed to work effectively with parents. In-depth role-playing illustrates positive and negative ways
in which a conference might play out and details the most compelling methods for conveying a student's academic, social,
and emotional progress. Interviews with teachers and parents reinforce essential concepts and highlight real-world challenges
and rewards surrounding this vital part of education. *A workbook designed especially for Professional Development workshop
coordinators - containing video viewing instructions, a post-viewing discussion guide, and skill-building exercises - is also
included. #12457/0635 32 minutes 2007 $129.95
