Designed for individuals and agencies currently using the Thinking for a Change program, this 3-hour broadcast will address the necessary skills and tools for administrators and facilitators of the program to help sustain the quality of their efforts, enhance their motivation and endurance, and protect the program's integrity over time. The Thinking for a Change program requires careful management staffing, support, and periodic review and modification to ensure that it continues to meet the changing needs of the offender population. The goals of this videoconference are to expose facilitators to new and exciting techniques to use within the program, present tips to help support their motivation and endurance, increase their capacity to gain the expected behavioral change with their offender population, provide program guidance for managers who have oversight responsibility for the Thinking for a Change program, and help agencies achieve consistency among program facilitators. Topics include the management role in program delivery, instructional strategies and techniques to enhance group facilitation, quality measures to sustain program consistency, and facilitator objectivity as the cornerstone of the program's success.
