This series is designed for staff members that play a leadership role in their programs, such as site directors, assistant directors, area specialists and group leaders.  Over 4 sessions participants will explore in depth the Ramapo Toolbox for Creating Environments that Support Success with the goal of sharing their expertise in their programs through modeling, coaching, and training. Participants will identify specific practices, structures and routines for incorporating role modeling and relationship building into their program. Participants will learn how to create, teach and reinforce clear and meaningful program expectations that keep participants safe and support program goals and values. Participants will learn to facilitate the creation of behavior plans for individual students and will practice protocols for helping young people and adults learn from mistakes and resolve conflicts.
