Jacque Elder, PsyD
Cost: $500.00 USD
This online 6 week coding course is for those practitioners who have never or rarely used the MITI 3.1.1 Coding system. All beginners are welcome, as well as those who would like to brush up on their coding skills.
Skype Calls:
The course includes 6 weekly Skype calls that are 90 minutes long. Learners can attend one or the other or both. One call is on Thursday from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, Central Standard Time. The other call is on Thursday from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. The Thursday a.m. call is for international learners though anyone in the course may join these calls. All calls are recorded and then archived on the website so learners can download them and listen to them if they miss a call, if needed. If there are no learners in one or the other call, there will be only one call on Monday.

Alternative Dates:

Trainer:
The trainer is Jacque Elder, PsyD. She has been a member of MINT since 2000 when she went through her Train the New Trainer. She has extensive experience coding and providing MITI Coding Training for 7 years. She is a Professor of Psychology at Dominican University, River Forest, Illinois. She is a licensed therapist with clinical skills in Couple/family therapy, Eating Disorders and Family-Based Treatment, Substance Misuse, Moods Disorders, Treatment for Suicide Attempters and their Families. She likes having fun while teaching and learning.
Goal of Course:
The goal of the course is to learn the MITI 3.1.1 by focusing initially on the Global Ratings, then parsing/utterances/volleys and finally the Behavior Counts. The course begins with a review of the purpose of the MITI. We also review the Global Ratings and do the Global Ratings on a 20-minute session the first meeting. Session 2 will focus on volley/parsing/utterance and the Behavior Codes. Trainees will have homework to do in between each session (listening and coding various audios). Homework results are emailed to Jacque on a weekly basis. By Module 4; we are doing full pass coding in 5-minute increments and then the full 20-minute pass. There are no transcripts used from Module 4 through Module 6 to increase the development of the "eagle ear" required to "hear" the Behavior Counts even in long volleys.
Most of the work is done on the learner's own time, and each will be provided with an online resource that is user-friendly. On the site, there are 6 Modules representing the 6 weeks of the course. Each Module contains PDFs, video on parsing, utterances, random start/end times, audio of training sessions that include transcripts (uncoded and coded) and other resources that may be used in Feedback and Coaching. It is estimated that learners will work 3-4 hours per week on their own time in addition to the 90-minute weekly Skype calls.
How This Course Works:
Once registered and paid, the learner will be provided with a link to the website, a username and a password. The learner will receive this information prior to the first Skype call scheduled. We often provide it early so learners have a chance to look at site and downloaded printed materials. It is expected that the learner will have read the MITI 3.1.1 Manual prior to the first Skype call.
Required for Course Learning:
· Access to a computer with Internet.
· Access to Skype either at work or home.
· Computer with speakers and working microphone.
· A printer to print out MITI Manual un-coded and coded transcripts.
· A willingness to complete homework. The trainees who learn the most in this course are those who have done their work
Participation:
The trainer will set up group weekly Skype calls and all group members will be included in call so that anyone may join the call once it has started. Audio sessions are played on the trainer’s computer and real time coding begins in Module 1 with the Global Ratings.
