RPW educators are available to speak to students, faculty, parents, and other education professionals and youth workers in your community. Our staff will work with you to custom tailor a series of programs to fit your needs. Below are some of the basic options that we have done in the past, but all can be modified or scaled up or down depending on your program goals. We welcome your input to create the ideal program for your group.

Conference Keynote or Breakout Sessions:

Keynote presentations generally last 1 hour, followed by 15 to 20 minutes of Q & A and a book signing if time permits. Breakout sessions of various lengths may also be added as fits your conference schedule.

Student Assemblies:

Assemblies to students last approximately 45 minutes followed by 10-15 minutes of Q & A. In order to make presentations relevant yet appropriate for the students, we have some requirements about which grades can be taught at the same time. We recommend any of the following grade breakdowns to ensure all students feel comfortable in the group:

• 5th & 6th
• 6th & 7th
• 7th & 8th
• 8th & 9th
• 9th & 10th
• 8th -10th
• 11th & 12th
• 9th -12th

Any grade can also be taught individually. Small group sessions or meetings with student leaders may also be arranged.

Parent presentations:

Presentations to parents are generally in the evening and last about 1 hour followed by 15-20 minutes Q & A and a book signing. The presentation may be opened up to other schools or the wider community, but must be adults only.

Faculty Meetings & Educator Training

Our educators are available to conduct presentations to education professionals (school faculty and staff, police officers, Girl/Boy Scout leaders, etc.) to best suit your time, budget, and goals. The presentation often includes an overview of the methodology and skills taught in the Owning Up™ Curriculum, and concrete strategies are given for appropriate use in any classroom or group—regardless of subject matter. We are happy to work with you to design the presentation specifically for issues you believe are the most relevant for your students and faculty. Questions can be asked throughout the presentation or time can be allotted at the end based on your preference.

Various session lengths are available:

• 90-minute program includes presentation and Q & A
• Half-day training lasts 3-4 hours
• Full-day training lasts 3 hours in morning, 3 hours in afternoon
• Two-day on-site Owning Up™ training: An intensive professional development seminar in which educators are trained and certified to teach the Owning Up™ Curriculum. This is an ideal option for organizations looking to train a large number of faculty at once. Visit the Owning Up™ page for more information on the Owning Up™ Training Institute.

Please contact us with any questions or for further information, and we look forward to working with you in the near future.
