Education Counts Michiana - April 24th, 2019

This special episode highlights some of the best initiatives we\'ve found this month. Join us for a look at teaching teachers hands on nature training, be introduced to the Dugout Dolls in Niles who are teaching female athletes skills for off the field and take a dive into 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, a parent child reading initiative presented by the St. Joseph County Public Library. We also have stories about how bouncy bands are helping kids expend energy while concentrating on desk work and how service dogs are trained to assist and for safety. We also talk about equipping students with autism with tools for success and how to become aware of your own biases and how that can present learning, teaching and working with others around us.
