Fostering Teamwork

New! This training is a new APOST offering, as it's part of the , a recently development series, from the Weikart Center for Program Quality.

This workshop is part of a sequence which should be taken in this order:

1. Foundations & Self-Awareness of Social Development.
2. Fostering Teamwork
3. Promoting Responsibility & Leadership

You must take Foundations & Self-Awareness of Social Development first. It's being offered on Aug 22 & Sept 19.

We strongly encourage registering for and taking all three workshops in a single season, because they build off one another.

Teamwork – for some of us the word generates excitement, for some of us dread. With time, support, and facilitation youth workers can help young people have both strong teambuilding skills and a sense of trust and group identity.

Participants in this workshop will learn and apply group norm building and facilitation techniques. Time will be spent applying and scaffolding techniques to support young people in managing their communication styles and applying reframing conflict skills.

Workshop Facilitators:

Chelsea Freeman, Owner, Freeman's YOUnique Education Consulting

& Weston White, Associate Director, YouthPlaces

Registration is open for this event until it fills up or until two days before the workshop.

Because of the interactive nature of this workshop, in the event of low registration it may be cancelled. Advance notice will be provided.

This workshop is limited to 15 participants. We will have a waiting list that we'll use to both fill spots that open up and also help plan our future workshop topic schedule.

Each participant will be provided with a guidebook to use during the training and keep and will also receive a certificate of completion via email afterwards.
