Training

Campuses across the country have found that School-Connect training and support options build confidence, boost student outcomes, and significantly improve implementation success. We offer different training options to suit your school's needs.

Implementation Support

Equip Package:

As part of your School-Connect school license, we provide a half-hour virtual consultation for your subscription manager and a small team to introduce our console, explain curriculum components, and answer questions.

Support Package:

Have an S-C team member lead a virtual, 60-minute School-Connect Intro session for your campus to familiarize faculty with the console, introduce curriculum components, model a lesson, and help them feel confident implementing the curriculum. This package also provides a customized Scope & Sequence designed for your campus in addition to four hours of ongoing support calls for consulting and troubleshooting. This is ideal for campuses that do not have a designated person with the bandwidth to coordinate implementation efforts on campus.

The Support Package is available to purchase as an add-on to your School-Connect license. Visit the Pricing Options page for more information.

Training Options

Online or In-person

We partner with EQ Launchpad, a professional learning organization led by Keeth Matheny, aka “Coach Rudy,” to offer on-site and online training for your campus or district. All trainings are led by Keeth or someone from his team of experienced and inspiring educators.

Training is an opportunity for an entire campus - teachers, counselors, admin, and coordinators - to experience cohesive school-wide strategies that encourage student engagement and school-connectedness. You’ll spend time exploring the research and evidence-based lessons that cover the most relevant topics for today’s teens and then further explore those lessons with demos featuring best practices for facilitating them. You’ll find the content extends beyond what you often expect in teacher professional development and allows you to feel like you’re in an adult personal growth workshop, making it as much of an experience as it is training.

Both training options are offered as a one- or two-day event to fit your school’s needs. Teachers will leave inspired and prepared to deliver lessons with fidelity and make them their own. Because of our long-standing and trusted partnership, EQ Launchpad offers an exclusive discount for first-time School Connect Trainees.

To receive more information, schedule training, or inquire about additional training options and rates, please contact CoachRudy@me.com or visit EQ Launchpad.
