Great news! The updated Stepping On curriculum is almost here and details for the update training will be arriving in your inbox in the coming week.
Stepping On facilitators who were trained or recertified in 2021 are eligible and required to take the update training to continue to deliver the program. Facilitators who were not able to hold a virtual workshop within the 90-day required timeframe from their training will have to recertify for virtual delivery during the update trainings in 2022 to be able to offer the program virtually. The update training allows any eligible facilitator to offer the program in person going forward.
If you are planning in-person workshops in 2022 but are struggling to find guest experts, you can now have the some guest experts attend live, but virtually, as long as you are able to project their video and audio for discussions. Those experts include the vision, community safety, and medication experts as well as the past participant. The physical therapist must attend all 3 sessions in person for in-person workshops. Please keep in mind that this should be a last resort. Experts should still engage in a discussion format, continue to conduct brainstorms at the appropriate times, and should not use Powerpoints, just like they should not use them for in-person workshops. If you want to bring in guest experts this way, please be sure to set up a time with them to do a trial run using the virtual platform.
