Orientation training for Positive Action instructs participants on how to begin and implement the program by explaining the two basic elements of the Positive Action System: Content, which is the Philosophy, Thoughts-Actions-Feelings about Self Circle and the positive actions or skills for the whole self which are described in Six Units, and the Tools in which the content is delivered.
The training session will cover the appropriate grade-level curriculum and components, in addition to best practices for implementation, virtually or in-person, the program outcomes and studies that produced them, and evaluation tools.
The recommended length of an orientation training session varies by the scope of implementation and the number of participants. Classroom kit orientation is typically one day in-person or 2-4 hours online; additional components extend training.
Training-of-Trainers (ToT) training is available to prepare select staff to conduct their own training within their school district or site. The ToT is a multi-day training that begins with an orientation then takes a deeper dive into all aspects of the Positive Action System. It concludes with a teach-back and examination of the training tools available. The recommended length varies by the scope of implementation and is available in-person or online.
