Systematic Instruction | February 29 & March 1

Powerful teaching strategies for community workplaces:
An essential part of ensuring success and maximizing the independence of supported employees

Two-Day Training with: Michael Callahan
National Expert in Systematic Instruction

February 29, 2012 [9 to 5] AND March 1, 2012 [8:30 to 4:30]
Bishop O’Connor Center
702 South Highpoint Road, MADISON, WI 53719

This two day training course will provide an overview of systematic instruction procedures and tools based on Marc Gold’s timeless Try Another Way approach. The information provides job coaches with the perspectives necessary to understand the teaching of essential job tasks in integrated community workplaces. Topics covered will include a brief retrospective on the evolution of supports in community work sites and a discussion of a “road map” strategy called the Seven Phase Sequence that helps explain how to start and how to proceed with training and supports that are built on the natural features and natural supports uniquely present in each workplace.

The course will also provide hands-on learning opportunities and discussion of the tools of systematic instruction that includes a range of teaching strategies, including the use of formats for presenting information, demonstration, verbal assists, gestural and modeling cues and physical assists. The role of natural motivation in lieu of reinforcement will also be discussed.

Note: If you are an agency or program manager considering who to send, this training is particularly beneficial for job coaches and on-the-job trainers who:

• Intend to stay in these roles for an extended period of time
• Are used to train or mentor new job coaches or on-the-job trainers you hire
