Teen Challenge Columbus Girls Academy
Hosts “Prepare for Impact” Teacher Training Conference

May 10th – May 12th, Teen Challenge Columbus Girls Academy is hosting “Prepare for Impact”, a Teacher Training Conference for staff members from Teen Challenge Campuses and similar programs. There are over 30 people in attendance. Presenters include Dave Batty, Allan Turley, and Greg Fisher - all members of the Curriculum Development team of Teen Challenge International.

At this conference Staff Members are being trained in our Group and Individual Bible/Life Skills Curriculum (PSNC and GSNC). A few topics being covered include: Lesson Planning, Creative Teaching Methods, Personal Goal setting, and Team Building.

Teen Challenge Columbus Girls Academy also recently had the privilege of having Dave Batty, a developer of the PSNC/GSNC curriculum, lead group sessions with our students using GSNC material entitled Anger and Personal Rights. A few student comments about the lessons learned in group are, “I learned not to let anger take control of my life”, “my emotions are not reliable”, “If we desire to change we can learn new habits and attitudes”, and “I learned not to let my thoughts control me”.

At Teen Challenge our desire is to collaborate, innovate and strive for continuous improvement. Training conferences assist our organization in staying true to its original purposes and mission, passing on and entrusting its rich heritage to future generations.
