The Training of Facilitators prepares you to bring the toolkit resources to your colleagues. This training is offered as four 3-hour virtual components for a total of 12 hours. Attend as a school team to ideally include: one administrator and 3-4 people who will facilitate with staff. The training includes clarification of leadership roles, rationale for the work, a look at how to inspire culture change through the toolkit, and tips for implementing the toolkit resources matched to the realities of your current organizational commitments and goals.
