Train-the-Trainer Training Services
Train-the-Trainer Training
At least 10% of your participants should be trained to be efficient trainers in the Peace-ing It Together fields: Mediation (Conflict Resolution) and Cool Calm, Clever Violence Prevention/Leadership). However, upon completion, these individuals will possess a trainer’s fundamental skills and can train in other topics as well.
Over our 25+ years, our continual observation and documentation have shown that participants tend to participate more and, thus, learn more when they are trained by their peers. As stated earlier, prevention and behavior modification are the focuses of the program. One way that this is taught is by using our Train-The-Trainer (TtheT) concept. Peers training other peers.
