CLASSROOM/PLAYGROUND CONSULTATIONS:
Individual classroom and playground consultations provide focus on specific classroom and playground populations. These consultations can target problem areas or challenging classrooms as well as take identifiable classes and playground groups that are already demonstrating excellent response to Healthy Play methodologies to the next successful step. Individual classroom consults are done in 55 minute to one hour sessions.
Only one Healthy Play Trainer conducts classroom consults. Playground consults may require two HP trainers and fees will reflect that.
Open Training:
Often, districts like sponsoring a Healthy Play seminar so that many teachers, counselors, and monitors from different schools can attend. This is a very useful way to view and begin implementing the Creative Spirit approach by the widest possible audience. It is also an effective means to determine if specific schools in your district would desire a full training for their whole faculty. The program is designed for a maximum of 50 participants and may be held any day of the week. Classroom consultations with students can be added if desired in six to eight hour sections on the day/s preceding or following the training.
Follow-up Training:
Upon completion and usage of a Healthy Play Is A Solution program your school will soon be ready for a shorter (2-4 hour) follow-up Healthy Play training. Tighten up the behavioral gains of utilizing the program as well as delving deeper into utilizing play to bring the joy in learning math, spelling, geography and other academic skills..
Train the Trainers:
The train the trainer program is a 12 hour format designed for four faculty members to attend from each participating school. (Call for specific details, minimum number required) This is an intensive two-day program where the philosophy, activity structure and over forty indoor and outdoor curriculum activities will be taught. The focus will be on preparing each team of participants on how to present a HP training at their school.
The first day will consist primarily of our basic six-hour seminar. On the second day, participants will be divided into the four sections of the Healthy Play program. They will practice leading their specific section of the material and be positively critiqued by the Creative Spirit staff and their peers. Each group of four members will then be able as a team to teach the complete Healthy Play program to their entire faculty, student mentors, parents or other community groups.
