Family Engagement Training of Trainers

The Massachusetts Statewide Family Engagement Center (SFEC) Grant, in collaboration with the MA Family Engagement State Coalition, invite you to apply to be part of a Training of Trainers series, where participants will be trained on use of 4 modules orienting communities and practitioners to the Strengthening Partnerships: A Framework for Prenatal through Youn gAdulhood Family Engagement in MA. We hope to identify 25-30 practitioners and family leaders to take part in this first cohort of trainees.

The Training of Trainers (ToT) will take place virtually from 1:00-4:00 on January 13th, 20th and 29th. Participation is free and trainees will be asked to commit to participating in all 3 series and to delivering the 4 modules at least two times for an organization or a community no later than 9/30/2021.

While not required, we strongly encourage ToT participants to participate in the Reframing Institute series on family engagement that will take place from 3:00-4:30 on November 16th, 23rd and December 2nd.
