Self-Paced Orientation
Flexible and Convenient Learning
The Self-Paced Orientation Training offers a flexible and convenient way to explore Positive Action independently. Accessible through your Pasela account, this asynchronous training introduces the program's philosophy, content, and tools while highlighting Pasela's key features, such as lesson planning, digital customization, and progress monitoring. Participants explore grade-specific strategies, research-backed outcomes, and standards alignments, gaining practical knowledge to implement the program effectively.
Ideal for individuals or teams ready to begin implementation immediately, this training serves as a foundation for further live webinar or in-person training. While it is designed for self-guided learners who are comfortable managing their own pace, an optional live certification session validates expertise and deepens understanding.Live Orientation
Interactive and Engaging Experience
The Live Orientation Training offers an interactive, real-time introduction to Positive Action through live webinars or in-person sessions. Participants engage directly with a trainer to explore the program's philosophy, content, and tools. They will receive hands-on guidance for navigating Pasela's features, including lesson planning, customization, and progress monitoring. This session equips participants with practical strategies, grade-specific themes, and an understanding of the program's research and standards alignments. Additionally, it provides immediate feedback and opportunities for skill-building.
This training includes certification upon successful participation. Sessions range from 2 to 9 hours for webinars and 1 to 3 days for in-person options. A three-week lead time is required for webinars and five weeks for in-person sessions ensuring sufficient time for pre-training discussions and planning. This training is ideal for teams seeking a collaborative, guided approach to implementation.Coaching

Coaching Training prepares participants to support the successful implementation of Positive Action while adapting it to meet diverse needs. This multi-session program combines an introduction to the program's philosophy, content, and tools with strategies for guiding and coaching others. Participants gain hands-on experience using Pasela for planning, customizing lessons, and tracking progress while learning how to address challenges and promote high-quality delivery.
This training is designed for those who want to enhance their ability to guide others and ensure implementation success and effective program delivery.

Develop Leaders and Train Others
The Training-of-Trainers (TOT) program builds participants' expertise in implementing and training others in Positive Action. This comprehensive training consists of several phases covering the program's philosophy, content, and tools while providing in-depth practice with lesson planning, customization, delivery, and digital features. Participants navigate the scope and sequence, grade-specific strategies, and methodologies as they progress through orientation, deepened learning, and teach-back phases building the confidence and proficiency to effectively train others. Training tools—such as presentations and other resources— enable participants to conduct their own training sessions within their organization, strengthening internal capacity and developing program champions who sustain momentum and drive long-term success.
Available in-person (2-5 days) or via live webinar (10-20 hours), TOT is best for teams of 2-15 participants leading program implementation and supporting their colleagues. Scheduling requires a minimum notice of three weeks for webinars and five weeks for in-person sessions to accommodate pre-training discussions and planning.Training Option |
