I’m just one person, how can I get trained?

At this time, events can only be coordinated for institutions wishing to train a group of participants at once. However, several schools or organizations may choose to join together to host a training workshop.

Who should attend the Owning Up™ Training Institute?

The conference is limited to those who work directly with kids in some capacity, including: teachers, administrators, counselors, coaches, religious leaders, and community group leaders. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, just call us and ask.

I’m an elementary school teacher. Can I attend the Owning Up™ Training Institute?

Yes! While the Owning Up™ Curriculum is geared toward the middle and high school levels, some of the concepts would be appropriate to discuss with elementary school children depending on their maturity level. Elementary school teachers and counselors often attend the Owning Up™ Training Institute to gain a better understanding of the curriculum, and help them adapt the program for their schools.

I’m a parent. Can I attend the Owning Up™ Training Institute?

Generally speaking, parents should not attend the Owning Up™ Training Institute. The conference is designed to certify educators to teach and implement the curriculum in their schools or organizations. However, if you are a parent with a close working relationship with a school or youth group that will help you to establish a program, you may apply.

Can children or students attend the conference?

No, the conference is for adults only. Before implementing any wide-reaching program in your school or organization, however, we encourage you to get buy-in, feedback, and support from all members of the community, include the youths you work with. You can also schedule separate student presentations and assemblies with our speakers.

Will I get CEUs for attending the conference?

You should discuss the specific requirements for obtaining CEUs with your school or organization. RPW, Inc. does not facilitate this process.

I attended the Owning Up™ Training Institute. Can I train other adults in my school/organization to teach the curriculum?

No, the Owning Up™ Training Institute certifies you to teach the program to STUDENTS ONLY. You may not train other adults in your organization. Additionally, the curriculum may not be reproduced or photocopied without the express, written permission of RPW, Inc.; each educator who wishes to use it must purchase his or her own copy.

Only participants who have attending both the initial Owning Up™ Training Institute, and returned for our 3-day ‘Masters Training Course’ are certified to train other adults. (This is very few people.)

Can I photocopy my curriculum so that other colleagues can use it?

No, the Owning Up™ Curriculum is copyrighted and may not be reproduced or photocopied without the express, written permission of RPW, Inc. Each educator who wishes to use the curriculum to implement the program must purchase his or her own copy. Only the student handouts within the curriculum may be photocopied for distribution. Please contact our office if you have any questions about this.
