TEACHER TRAINING

• What are the objectives of Project ALERT teacher training?

  The primary purpose of the Project ALERT training is to learn how to teach Project ALERT with fidelity in the classroom. The main objectives of the training are:
  
  

  • to help you understand the content and processes around which Project ALERT is based;
  • to model and practice key activities in the curriculum;
  • to encourage fidelity when using Project ALERT; and
  • to increase your confidence in teaching the curriculum.

• Which educators should be trained?

  Project ALERT training is intended for middle school core teachers, SAP advisors, science, health and PE teachers, school counselors, school nurses, and anyone else who directly implements the curriculum in the classroom or who has oversight responsibility.
  
  Since Project ALERT spans two grade levels, it is important to train teachers delivering the core lessons as well as those who will be delivering the booster lessons.

• What training options are available?

  Project ALERT training is available online free of charge. Online training online offers 24-hour a-day flexibility, self-paced instruction, and cost efficiency (no travel or substitute teacher fees). One day group in-person training workshops are available by request, at cost.  For workshop details please contact a Program Manager at: 800-253-7810.

• Who conducts the “in-person” Project ALERT workshops?
