TRAINING
AND CONSULTATION
The SDM/PS Program offers a choice of training opportunities.
The basis for the majority of our training services utilizes
an evidence based Social Decision Making/Social Problem
Solving curriculum as a foundation. http://www.researchpress.com/product/item/5257A/.
School District Level:
This is our preferred approach as it allows us to tailor
the training to suit your local needs. Trainings are available
to individual schools and/or school districts.
Teacher Training - The
SDM/PS Program staff provide a two to three day in-service
training for a designated team of teachers, administrators,
and support personnel. The training can be held at the adoption
site and can accommodate up to 30 teachers at a time. Each
multi-day training is customized to the needs of the school/district
and follows an active training model. The training sessions
are designed so that participants are prepared to teach
this program directly to children upon the conclusion of
the workshop. Each participant is provided with all of the
curriculum materials, colorful classroom posters, and worksheets
he or she will need to implement skill-building activities
covered in the training.
Training for Leadership and Management
- In order to ensure that the Program becomes a useful,
integrated, and vibrant part of the school's curricula,
an on-site SDM/PS Leadership Team is formed to plan and
guide the program toward institutionalization. The Leadership
Team consists of a small group of representative teachers,
the building principal, and other key resource staff such
as a guidance counselor or Child Study Team member. The
SDM staff strongly recommends a half- or full-day "Leadership
and Management" training for the Leadership Team upon
the conclusion of the regular training workshop. The site
leadership team leaves the session with a specific operational
plan facilitated by the trainer.
Program Consultation -
In addition to training, other services include: on-site
consultation, support, and technical assistance is available
from SDM/PS Program staff. Phone consultation is also available
on our toll-free line.
