Education Series
Connected Kansas Kids (CKK) brings information about supporting
students with chronic physical and mental health diagnoses to schools, community
hospitals, libraries and other groups. Presentations are available, at no cost to
participants, for staff development, paraprofessional training, CEUs, student learning
and to interested community members.
Staff Development
Every student should have the opportunity to be successful at school. However, some
kids have difficulty in school for reasons that may be difficult to define: chronic
physical or mental health conditions; a child who is experiencing grief or bullying;
a student who is anxious; and many more. The impact may be poor school performance,
dropping out of school, lower scores on standardized assessments, and much more.
CKK offers presentations for educators (teachers, paraprofessionals,
administrators, school nurses, social workers, school psychologists, PTAs, etc.)
on 45 topics that may impact a student's success at school. Learn how to recognize
students who may be impacted by these issues, and what to do to help the learner.
Presentations are available via interactive televideo to schools, community health
care providers, libraries, etc. There is no cost for these 60 minute presentations,
and each is scheduled at a time convenient to your group. Presentations may be scheduled
singly, or combine topics for a 1/2 day or full day inservice.
Careers in Health Care
CKK offers Health Careers Presentations for students. Students
- Learn about the
required training to become a specific type of doctor, nurse, therapist, etc;
- find
out what each health care professional actually does on his/her job;
- and hear about
the special rewards of being a health care professional.
Topics will be offered by interactive televideo and as webcasts. Please contact
