An Introduction to the Invitational Education Toolkit for Inviting School Award Applicants
The Invitational Education Toolkit is developed as a Step-by-Step guide to support your Inviting School Journey.This workshop is designed for schools that are new to Invitational Education or are working towards the Inviting School Award. Thenew Invitational Education Toolkitprovides your school with a step-by-step guide for involving staff, teachers, and parents in a journey towards creating an intentionally positive school, where everyone can realize their potential. The Toolkitbuilds on the unique traits and needs of each school, wherever its journey begins.
The twelve training steps of the Toolkit lead you along a continuum of Invitational growth and development, following the IE Helix. Each progressive step starts with a Power Point lesson for stakeholders. Resources include detailed facilitator notes, engaging video clips, printable handouts, training tips and collaboration opportunities for participants.
The Toolkit is designed so that any staff member can serve as the leader of the workshop. Every slide of the Power Point presentation includes a detailed script for the facilitator insuring that your school will make steady progress as you explore all components of Invitational Theory and Practice.
