THE NEXT STEP:
A Resiliency and Protective Factor Framework
for Student Well-Being and School Success
"Mr. Burns' methodology is very effective. I felt affirmed and inspired by the knowledge that  there is hope and that we do make a difference."
P. Richards, Drug-free Schools Director/High School Teacher

This solution-oriented workshop answers the question: How do we move kids beyond risk to resiliency and well-being? Participants gain knowledge about critical protective factors known through research to enhance well-being and support student success. Participants use the framework in an interactive, hands-on way to analyze current conditions, determine desirable outcomes, shape ways to achieve them, and evaluate the results. The workshop offers a dynamic framework for achieving  significant outcomes in both prevention and education.
Workshop participants will:

          • Engage in hands-on, highly interactive explorations of critical factors
             affecting student well-being and academic success.
          • Discover the key protective factor ensuring resiliency for all kids.
          • Utilize the mental models and tools of the framework, gaining
             skills and confidence in the process.
          • Discover key points for leveraging change in the classroom or
             workplace.
          • Learn how to successfully engage in the business of desireable
             change.
          • Leave with a plan of action keyed to outcomes identified during
             the workshop.
          • Have a great time and take away tools for making positive change!

The Next Step is offered in one and two day options and can be tailored
to meet the needs of your group.
