We are pleased to let you know that the fees for Tribes TLC training in 2012 have been significantly discounted in order to accommodate reduced educational budgets.

 

The 24 hour Tribes TLC training fee is now only $290 per person! This reduced contract fee includes everything for your whole school training; 24 hours of professional development, books and materials for each participant, trainer compensation, and trainer travel expenses (if done over consecutive days). If your schedule necessitates having to split the training (i.e., the first two days, and then the last 2 days a month or so later), then additional travel expenses will be charged. There is a 20 person minimum.

 

Our experienced Staff Trainers will come to your school or program site to facilitate the 24 hour Basic (elementary), Middle School, or High School level training, each of which is accompanied by the relevant and age-appropriate Tribes book. Also available is a 2-day After School/ Youth Development training for para-professionals and support staff, as well as a series of 3 parent evenings. In year 2 or 3, there is an advanced Artistry for Learning training that incorporates more integration of curriculum and further development of Collegial Learning Communities. After one year of implementation, educators can apply to attend our Training of Trainers (TOT) to become Certified Tribes Trainers for your "district" or school organization. The trainer(s) can then train any schools in their "authorized area" (usually the district or educational organization) without a contract through CenterSource. This capacity-building model is very cost effective, and intensifies and sustains the use of the process by developing leadership and expertise from the "inside out."
