Pineville, LA. … The Louisiana College Teacher Education Department is offering a “Whole Brain Teaching” conference on campus beginning Monday, June 14th through Wednesday, June 16th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. beginning in Guinn Auditorium. This event is free and is open to any K-12 teacher.

“Whole Brain Teaching” is a teaching method and classroom management style that rests upon the principal that teachers at every level share the same type of difficulties in the classroom: students lack discipline, poor background knowledge and fundamental problem solving skills. The goal of this method is to create peaceful classrooms full of orderly fun.

“We have approximately 550 teachers and administrators in this year’s “Whole Brain Teaching” seminar,” explained Dr. Michael Shamblin, Director of the Teacher Education Alternate Certification (TEACH) program. Participants have come from 18 different states and one principal of a private Christian School traveled from India to take part. “This is our third year to offer the “Whole Brain Teaching” seminar on campus.”

For teachers and administrators who have not signed up but are interested in learning more about this type of instruction the seminar is free and will continue through Wednesday, June 16th everyday beginning at 9 a.m.

For more information contact the LC Teacher Education Department at (318) 487-7302.

PINEVILLE - For the first time in three years, Louisiana College will play host to an NCAA Division III Softball Regional. A trip to the Division III World Series will be on the line starting Friday at noon when Louisiana College, currently ranked No. 1 in the nation, plays host to five other teams in a three-day tournament. Admission will be $5 for general admission and $12 for seat backs, daily. No three-day passes will be issued. All LC games will be carried live on KZLC Louisiana College’s radio station 95.5 FM. Also, the LC athletics web site www.lcwildcats.net will feature a tournament central page where fans can get live updates throughout the tournament.

LC should have little trouble recognizing its opponents in this year’s regional as three of the five visiting teams in the six-team regional hail not only from the Lady Wildcats’ home conference, the American Southwest Conference, but also from Louisiana College’s home Division. Fellow ASC East teams Texas-Tyler (the nation’s No. 2 team), East Texas Baptist (No. 10) and Mississippi College will vie for a berth in the World Series in Eu Claire, Wisc., alongside Southwestern (Texas) and La Verne (California).

The three-day tournament will begin at noon on Friday with the host team taking on La Verne in game one. Texas-Tyler and Southwestern will follow at 2 p.m. in game two and Mississippi College and East Texas Baptist at 4 p.m. in game three.

The losers of games one and two will square off in an elimination game at 6 p.m. in the fourth and final game of the first day. Day two will start at noon with the LC-La Verne winner taking on the loser of the Mississippi College-East Texas Baptist game. The winners of the Texas-Tyler-Southwestern and MC-ETBU games will play at 2 p.m. with the remainder of the weekend’s schedule being dependant upon the outcomes of the first six games.
