This page will eventually have information about training sessions in Kazakhstan. For now, however, it has some handouts and activities for the upcoming leader trainings to be held in Rome in January, 2008.
The training assistants in Rome should download all of the documents from this page and make copies for training. For the handouts, I would suggest making one copy per person attending each training, plus one for me, the instructor. I may also list, if I have time, some of the activity handouts.
I recommend that these handouts be collated in the order in which they appear in the document and either stapled or bound together. These handouts do not cover all of the topics of the course and are not substitutes for actually attending the course. The handouts should not be given out in advance of the course nor to people who are not taking the course. They are meant to supplement the training and help reinforce the concepts presented during the course.
Look for new handouts here until I leave for Rome. The handouts for the BVT and Daisy, Brownie, & Junior PALs are currently those for Singapore. I'll put the revised handouts in red when I upload them and mention the date and time of the update here. December 6, 2007
Training Attendance Record
(I have to turn in one sheet to NY for each training and each day of multiple day trainings. Please print 8 copies of this, just in case that many are needed.)
Basic Volunteer Training
(All "new" leaders, assistant leaders, and interested other volunteers and parents who have not taken a Basic Leader/Volunteer Training course should take this course. It's the one training where you can get a good overview. I recommend that all of the leaders who live in Rome take this class, if they can. Topics covered include Girl Scout philosophy, traditions, methodology, Girl/Adult partnerships, recordkeeping, forms, flag cermonies, setup of USAGSO, planning the GS year and more.)
(Please make 1 copy of this for each participant in training, plus 1 copy for each facilitator. Please collate the booklets and staple.)
(These sheets are activities for the training. Please print 1 copy for each participant in training, plus 1 copy for each facilitator. Don't put these in the handout, and keep each handout separate - do not collate.)

(Here is the basis of the handout, but you'll need to add quite a few things to it - note additions below.)
(Please make 1 copy of this for each participant in training, plus 1 copy for each facilitator. Please collate the booklets and staple.)
(This is the final addition to the handout. The rest of the handout, starting with "Parts of a Meeting", and ending with the evaluation, should be placed after the 12 additions.)
(These are in the handout, but please make 1 copy of this for each person to use in an activity during class)

(We can't do an entire outdoor training in the time we have and my handout is HUGE, so here are just a few of the "good bits" that we will probably use.... make 2 copies of each to start with and we'll decide when I get to Rome which parts we'll really teach.)
Synergy Games Handout
(Make 1 copy of this for each participant in training, plus 1 copy for each facilitator)
Synergy Games Activity
(Make 1 copy of this for each participant in training, plus 1 copy for each facilitator)
(This is already in the handout, but we need a copy for each person to use during the training for the actual activity.)
