Training Models

n addition to being the name of our mapping program, "Atlas” is also the key word in putting together a training program. Our Approach To Learning involves the determination of three factors: Audience (A), Type of Training (T) required and Location (L). This approach is then set against the Attributes (A) or factors unique to the department that influence training quality, to arrive at a Strategy (S) for training and professional development.

Atlas has a successful history of impacting cultural change and increasing student achievement through proper implementation and trainings. Our traditional training method is to train each and every faculty member hands-on. In almost all cases, a core team of faculty are trained first. Core Team members not only create a strong internal leadership team but also play the role of coaches during faculty training.

A is for Audience
T is for Type of Training 
L is for Location 
A is for Attributes 
S is for Strategy

Other training models that we have employed with success include the Academy Model, the Advanced Workshop Model, and others. To get more information on other implementation possibilities click here.
