By popular demand, we have opened registration for two more Collaborative Discussion Coach Trainings, in July and in September.
Dear Collaborative Discussion Friends,
We are excited to share that due to popular demand we have opened registration for two more Collaborative Discussion Coach Trainings, one in July and another in September. If you have been enjoying the collaborative discussion activities that we highlight and want to learn more about how you can use these activities in your work, register for a training. It is a great opportunity to dive deeper into these activities and become certified to offer your own Collaborative Discussion Certificate Program. You will be joining a growing community of coaches (150+) who award certificates in collaborative discussion (800+).
Register for the July or September 2025 Coach Training
Each of these trainings is limited to 10 participants to ensure interactive, hands-on engagement. Upon successful completion, participants will be better equipped to use activities from the Collaborative Discussion Toolkit in their work and become certified to offer their own certificate programs in classrooms, communities, and workplaces.
By the end of the Collaborative Discussion Coach Training you will have…
- Deeper understanding of key collaborative discussion concepts
- Greater familiarity with the Collaborative Discussion Toolkit and intentional design of toolkit activities
- Experienced a selection of expedited toolkit activities with a debriefing on how to facilitate each activity
