Online Booster Sessions
Tools for Life is pleased to offer live, online mentoring sessions and booster workshops to further support Tools for Life users in their on-going application of Tools for Life as a social emotional learning solution. These sessions will be facilitated by Tools for Life Lead Trainers and other subject matter experts. The sessions will be activity based and will be supported with a Training Handout, to be emailed prior to the session.
These booster sessions offer additional professional support for those program staff who have not been able to implement the Tools for Life Resource with fidelity. In other instances, some staff may be new to Tools for Life since the initial training; or, there may be a group of educators who require support that focuses on children with particular needs or challenges, and these program staff are seeking supplemental guidance and coaching.
Topics may include:
- how to integrate Tools for Life in your classroom curriculum;
- how to promote Parent Engagement;
- African-American and indigenous story-telling;
- integrating Tools for Life into STEM;
- integrating art and music, etc.
Cost for one session is $250.00 per person. Minimum of 10 participants.
