New! Elementary and Transitions Online Training Workshops

August saw the successful launch of the LST Elementary and Transitions online training workshops. With these now part of the family of Botvin LifeSkills Training online trainings, you can receive training in all school programs online without leaving your home, office, or even town! 

 Elementary and Transitions programs

The August 25th Elementary Online Training group was led by trainer Pam Werb. "The elementary training went extremely well, and [we] had a very full online classroom in attendance." Werb, who used to be a third-grade teacher in Wayzata, Minnesota, was enthusiastic about the Elementary training being offered online. "I believe online training will only become increasingly more advantageous to smaller, more remote communities and to organizations wishing to tailor trainings to their participants. We build the case for prevention programs and then deliver a state-of-the-art curriculum," Werb added.

Additional online trainings for both programs are available this Fall, along with Middle School and High School trainings. Several webinars continue to be available, including: Addressing Challenging Questions, Community-based Prevention Afterschool, and Classroom Management Strategies. To view training dates for online trainings, in-person trainings, and webinars, visit the Training Schedule.
