GO FOR IT! Train-the-Teacher Program

"Motivating Students to Succeed" is a 32-hour program for teachers, school administrators, and counselors seeking certification to become trainers of the
GO FOR IT! Program.

From 2004 to 2007 the GO FOR IT! Institute staff delivered the GO FOR IT! Student Program to urban schools, teaching all students from grades three to eight in their classrooms over a seven to fourteen week period. It was a challenge to find financial and classroom resources.

Teachers offered us the perfect strategy for overcoming both of these challenges. They overwhelmingly urged us to train them so they could incorporate the Seven Keys to Success within their curriculum.

Our Train-the-Teacher strategy provides a greater distribution of the GO FOR IT! Program to students and educators. "Motivating Students to Succeed" is offered by the GO FOR IT! Foundation through cooperation with the Adams State College Extended Studies Department. Teachers who complete the course are eligible for two graduate-level continuing education credits.

The successful outcomes of the GO FOR IT! Train-the-Teacher Program will be that:

• Teachers are energized and inspired in ways to help students achieve their highest potential
  
• Teachers integrate the development of GO FOR IT! skills into the classroom curriculum
  
• Students learn the process of how to succeed and can demonstrate their acquisition of the GO FOR IT! skills
  
• Schools develop a positive atmosphere with confident and motivated students
