The Beyond the Bell Toolkit may be used as a standalone resource. However, AIR also offers training on how to best use the information and associated tools. Our series of professional development opportunities is designed to help program leaders and staff implement practices in the Beyond the Bell Toolkit effectively.
AIR offers training on specific topics or chapters in the Toolkit. Each training session is interactive and provides time for staff to interact with the information and tools in the Toolkit, as well as with each other. AIR trainers will facilitate activities, provide time for staff to reflect on the information learn, and lead staff through planning for implementing the new knowledge and skills into programming.
