This blog is a resource center for those to learn and those to share that are looking for ways to help Students (ages 18 and under). Some of the learning will be through the Providing Opportunities Class at Clay-Chalkville High School, some by other bloggers, some from current media and periodicals or by those that are in the trenches working to make the world a better place for students!

Special Olympics Bowling -December 10
Today our class participated in the Special Olympics Bowling sponsored by the Adaptive P.E. Department of the Jefferson County Special Education Department of Jefferson County (Birmingham) Alabama. On this post you will find pictures of some of the fun that our students had in good nature competition pulling for each other and encouraging each other!
"Providing Opportunities" is a blog that will be worth your while to browse at least once a week for ideas that might work for you as you seek to better the world for the youth of t0day. As you check this blog you will find out information about this class that will inspire you, inform you and may give you ideas. This blog will be different in that if ideas are given as as a post and they seem to warrant letting others know about them then they will be posted with credit given for the source. Stephen Covey the famous author stressed the idea of "synergy" and those accomplishing more together than working seperately. This blog can accomplish synergy which provides a resource which Dr. Harry Wong states is the best way for any teacher to learn which is to "steal ideas" from other teachers and use them. "Providing Opportunities" can only work if others will submit their ideas that they have either used or seen used that worked. add'>http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&add=http://providingopportunities.blogspot.com>Add to Technorati Favorites View blog authority Technorati Chart
