Skills & Strategies for Facilitators of Trans Content

This 18 hour intensive provides formal training on teaching methods, learning theory, and lesson planning designed specifically for facilitators of trans-related content!

This course takes some of the essential components of Dr. Green's master's level teaching methods & curriculum design courses and makes them accessible for folks outside of higher education. Course content includes: assessing learners' needs, setting learning objectives, determining scope and sequence, applying learning theory to lesson plan design, climate setting, increasing learner engagement, answering common questions, handling resistance, creating post-session feedback surveys, and more.

Whether you are a facilitator who has never had a chance to engage in formal training about the theory, art, and practice of teaching, or it's been a minute and you are looking for a refresher, this course helps facilitators expand and sharpen their educational tools for teaching trans content to adult participants. People of all gender identities and expressions are welcome, and we strive to create a learning space where we can all show up as our true selves.
Timing
This course will be held over 4 days, meeting from 12 PM - 4:30 PM ET | 9 AM - 1:30 PM PT. Each day includes approximately 50 minutes of break time, including a 30 minute midpoint break.

Format
This course will be facilitated via Zoom, and additional reading and learning materials will be provided via Google Drive. During our time together you can anticipate that a majority of the time will be spent in the large group, which will include guided lecture and group discussion. We will also engage in small group work via breakout rooms, along with some time for individual reflection/exercises.

Registration Survey
To help us better tailor the course and meet the needs of our participants, we require participants to complete a registration survey. Once you have purchased your ticket on Eventbrite, you will receive confirmation from Eventbrite, along with an email from [email protected] - that email will include a link to a registration survey that you will need to complete in order to finalize your attendance.
