FORT WORTH, Texas – September 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Dr. Linda Metcalf will again host hundreds of educators and education experts at the 4th Solution Focused School Conference on Oct. 28 & 29, who will share how they have been able to create safer schools without focusing on security. Schools implementing the solution-focused approach – a model that puts the responsibility on students to develop solutions instead of educators to solve problems – have seen significant reductions in discipline referrals and an increase in academic success.

With a shortage of teachers across the U.S. and higher teacher-to-student ratios in classrooms this year, educators are under extreme pressure to engage students so they can learn. Many students are disengaged or feeling isolated, which increases the risks of ill-discipline and disruptive behavior, or worse, more school shootings.

“Many educators aren’t properly trained to handle disruptive or disengaged students, so they’re either giving up, moving schools or quitting altogether,” says Dr. Linda Metcalf, best-selling author of Counseling Toward Solutions, and host of The Solution Focused School Conference. “A child’s future depends on a cohesive and inclusive school environment, and that should not be undermined by disruptive behavior, or the inability of educators to manage it.”

The fourth installment of the annual conference is themed “Engaged Educators = Exceptional Classrooms”, and is bringing together 20 speakers from 5 different countries. They will share solution-focused techniques and case studies of how this evidence-based approach is transformed their schools and other schools around the world.

Studies by the University of Texas found a growing number of schools implementing the solution-focused approach, and where they have increased student engagement, awarded more credits, and reduced drop-out rates.

Delegates will attend the conference online on Oct. 28 & 29, and will earn 18 Continuing Education Units.

“Schools that implement the solution-focused approach transform into a safer environment of exceptional classrooms led by engaged educators,” says Dr. Metcalf.

“In those schools, discipline isn’t an issue; students and teachers work through their challenges together; there is reduced conflict because previously disengaged students start engaging; students become responsible leaders; and there is great pride in the school’s academic success.”

Schools that implement the solution-focused approach are safer without focusing on security.

Using this approach will make schools safer, with less disruption and better academic results.

Mark Mandel, MD, is One of the Bay Area’s First Ophthalmologists to Use the Revolutionary New EVO Visian® Implantable Contact Lens (ICL)

HAYWARD, Calif. – September 8, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Since receiving FDA approval this year, Evo Visian® ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) has quickly become one of the most effective solutions for correcting nearsightedness (myopia) and nearsightedness with astigmatism. Patients who wish to permanently improve their vision without having to be as dependent on eyeglasses or contacts lenses may be good candidates for this procedure. Cornea and Refractive Surgery specialist Mark Mandel, MD, is one of the first ophthalmologist in the Bay Area to offer this groundbreaking new technology at Optima Ophthalmic Medical Associates. 

“It is clear to me that EVO Visian® ICL provides superior results to previous versions of the implantable contact lenses,” said Mandel. “It is exciting to offer EVO to my patients who have difficulty seeing objects far away, and to be the one of the first doctors in the Bay Area to perform this procedure.”   

EVO Visian® ICL does not require the removal of any corneal tissue. It is an additive lens that is implanted in the eye. Because of its soft, flexible, bio-compatible material, most patients experience crisper far vision and improved night vision. The lenses provide protection from UV rays and do not cause symptoms of dry eye like some other refractive surgeries. Patients who have thin corneas or are otherwise not good candidates for LASIK/PRK may find EVO a suitable alternative.   

EVO Visian® ICL is an outpatient surgery that is typically completed in under half an hour. Patients notice improved vision within a day or two. Unlike any other refractive procedure, EVO ICL can be reversed in the future. However, most patients will keep their ICL for the rest of their lives.

Although the EVO ICL is new to the United States, over one million people worldwide have received EVO Visian® ICL. As a testament to the technology’s effectiveness, over 99% of these patients say they would do it again.
