The Consultation workshop is the second step for human services agencies to becoming certified in the Teaching-Family Model. The Consultation workshop focuses on providing Teaching Parent Supervisors with a solid base of information upon which they can help Teaching Parents (and other direct care workers and practitioners) with the implementation of the Teaching-Family Model, and more specifically, the Pre-Service Workshop curriculum. Supervisors or “Program Consultants” are childcare professionals, hired by program administration, to offer support and assistance to the Teaching Parents .
The Consultation workshop usually lasts approximately 3 days, but there are multiple on-site visits whereby a representative from Innovative Teaching Systems works with Supervisors to ensure they are properly supporting the implementation of the Teaching-Family Model by Teaching Parents.
The Consultation workshop is on-going throughout the Teaching-Family Model certification process. The entire set of motivation systems provided for Teaching Parents is meant to increase youth motivation, cooperate with the program and learn new skills”. The motivation systems can be individualized to specific meet the needs of the individual youth. They are designed to help Teaching Parents change youth behavior in a way that is beneficial for all parties.
