For those of you that may want to facilitate the STEP UP! training with your group in the spring (or anytime!) there is a TRAIN THE TRAINER webinar on the website under Facilitators; Training and Presentations; Train the Trainer. It’s FREE and you can watch it at your convenience. This, along with your step by step Facilitator Guide should be plenty to get you up and running! There are also some very helpful Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) on the website as well.
Our biggest tip is to get to know the material! It is comprehensive but once you do it, you’ll see it’s not so difficult after all! This training can then serve as the foundation for the more in depth topic specific presentations that can follow. At Arizona we’ve even had professors teach it in class – the students loved it AND said they learned a tremendous amount.
Why have completely different presentations? This is a way to have a consistent message, consistent language and a consistent approach to any problem. The University of Arizona has adopted it campus wide (see Nov. blog for more info). STEP UP! Day will be March 1, 2010 on our campus – lots of great stuff is planned! Contact us if you’d like more info on how to do your own STEP UP! Day.
If you do watch the Train the Trainer, let us know how you like it and, as always, please let us know if you have any questions.
