Part 1: Staff Effectiveness Train-the-Trainer ProgramStaff Effectiveness Train-the-Trainer prepares trainer-candidates to conduct Staff Effectiveness Training (SET) programs and learning activities that meet the customized training needs of their organization’s staff. Participants in this two-day trainer-certification program experience first-hand the core learning activities of the SET curriculum. Participants learn how to interact more positively and therapeutically, practice skills that are essential to preventing and defusing crisis situations, and recognize ways to apply the concepts of positive behavioral supports and trauma informed care to the prevention and intervention of crisis. In addition to their acquisition of curricular content and skills, trainer-candidates learn how to use effective training methods and materials for training adult learners. Participation includes role play exercises, written assessments, practice-training presentations and observations, and giving and receiving feedback. Each participant receives the SET trainer’s manual, video scenarios, handouts, assessment tools and supplementary training resources. Upon successful completion of the Staff Effectiveness Train-the-Trainer program, certification is awarded to qualified participants by Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health. Participation does not guarantee certification. Web-accessible training materials (via trainer login) and Staff Effectiveness Trainer Refreshers are available to certified Trainers to maintain their Trainer certification. |
