Positive Climate Staff Development Modules’ Training-of-Trainers
Community Matters developed the Positive School Climate (PSC) Modules in a format that includes a Training-of-Trainers (TOT) workshop. This TOT equips district and school site staff with the knowledge and resources to conduct the Modules for their colleagues.
- Time: Two full school days, 6-8 hours.
- Participants: 3-4 staff members from each school. We recommend a mix of teachers and administrators, plus District staff who can oversee and support this initiative. PSC TOT participants will:
- Learn about the extent and cost of mistreatment, as well as efforts to address it
- Discuss strategies for creating and maintaining a positive staff culture
- Learn how to tap into the power of student relationships and youth leadership
- Gain knowledge and skills for communicating and intervening effectively
- Address particular forms of mistreatment and contemporary issues that affect them
- Practice skills and receive coaching and feedback.
- Format: interactive discussions in large and small groups, and skills practice via role plays. For a more complete description/flyer, click here.
