FLIP IT: Transforming Challenging Behavior Train-the-Trainer Session

What is FLIP IT?
FLIP IT is a four step process rooted in developing emotional awareness in order to increase emotional control and reduce challenging behaviors in children ages 3-8.

- Prepare you to deliver a 1 day FLIP IT workshop (or five 1.5hr workshops) on how to implement the FLIP IT strategy
- Provide a CD with PowerPoint Slides and a training binder with trainer notes for the 1 day workshop
- Provide a FLIP IT Reminder Kit to assist in teaching the FLIP IT strategy to others

What is FACING THE CHALLENGE?
Facing the Challenge is an instructional, interactive DVD video series on challenging behavior in preschool children. The program includes 10 chapters that help teachers recognize, prevent, and plan strategies for helping challenging behaviors. Chapters include: What is Challenging Behavior * Developmentally Appropriate Behavior * Why do Kids Misbehave? * Parents as Partners * Prevention Strategies * Behavior Planning and Intervention Strategies.
The Facing the Challenge Train-the-Trainer Session will:
- Prepare you to deliver 10 workshops of various lengths on each of the chapters outlined on the DVDs
- Provide a CD with PowerPoint Slides for 10 workshops that can be scaled back or enhanced to meet your needs
- Provide a Training Binder with Trainer Notes for each workshop
- The Facing the Challenge Training is a comprehensive exploration of challenging behavior and what can be done to recognize it, prevent it and better plan strategies. Individuals who need to train and support staff on a variety of topics around challenging behavior would benefit from attending this session.
- FLIP IT is a focused exploration of ONE problem solving strategy that helps children understand their feelings and gain healthy coping skills. Individuals who work directly with staff who struggle with implementing current challenging behavior strategies would benefit from learning how to train staff on this successful strategy.
- Ideally, a Trainer would benefit from having both of these sets of training resources/packages available to share with those they support. With questions on which would best meet your needs, please contact Debi Mahler at dmahler@devereux.org.
