Dr. Peter Alsop, a nationally known singer, songwriter, and educational psychologist, will present "Teaching Between the Lesson Plans" on Wednesday, March 28, from 4:15-6 p.m. in Lehman's Lovinger Theatre. The program will discuss socio-emotional development and feature practical techniques to help clarify complicated social interactions that can come up in the classroom. The discussion will be of particular interest to students of sociology, social work, psychology, recreation education, speech-language-hearing sciences, and health education.
