Precinct 3 conducts special "Summer Training Institutes" for senior citizens who volunteer for the Senior Education Program as instructors and teaching assistants.  Activities are designed to help volunteers become better teachers, provide information that can be used in their everyday life, and still be an enjoyable, inspirational day.

Senior volunteers and teaching assistants are eager to get started with the day's events.
Superintendent Bob Kendrick helps an attendee start off the "Communicating/Connecting" session with a little communicating and connecting.
Bob discusses techniques to improve communication and understanding while making classes more enjoyable for both students and teachers.
Small group activities are used to demonstrate the techniques.  Here one group (including the afternoon speaker) is discussing "three synonyms for the word courage". Other groups worked on the words: ache, laugh and neat.
Lunch Time - a chance for discussion of the morning's presentation and for a little fellowship.  And, to make the most of the day, a lunchtime presentation from Deputy Pickett.
Deputy Pickett, Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department 100 Club Peace Officer of the Year, recalls some of his team's rescues including searches for lost Alzheimer's patients and small children.
