Monique Burr Foundation Certified Facilitator Training (ToT) DEC
Join us at BOCES 2 Professional Development Center on Thursday, December 1, 2022.
The train the trainer workshop (ToT) will prepare and educate school staff designated to implement the MBF Child Safety Matters (grades k-5) and/or Teen Safety Matters (grades 6-9; 9-12) curriculum during the 2022-2023 school year as a means to fulfill necessary obligations and mandates. Bivona will also provide instructional consultation to all designated facilitators that attend the ToT workshop to reinforce goals and objectives intended by MBF curriculums well as strengthen and personalize facilitator skills. Bivona will also facilitate a parent forum and staff preparation training prior to lesson implementation. During the ToT training, Facilitators will also receive Less Is More training. Created by the New York State Children's Alliance, Inc., the Less is More training highlights the integral role a Mandated Reporter has in a child abuse investigation process by understanding what is needed to make a call to the State Central Registry (SCR), and what happens after the call is made. The focus of Less is More is to present the importance and impact of Child Advocacy Centers in New York State. By defining what a Child Advocacy Center (CAC) and a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) is, our goal is to help Mandated Reporters feel confident about what to do when they suspect child abuse,and reassure them of the importance of their role when it comes to protecting children. The objectives include knowing what is needed to make a referral, how to gather necessary information without questioning the child, the importance of the role of a Mandated Reporter, what a CAC is and how it works and why some cases do not move forward.
