Each summer MegaSkills Programs are conducted at the Gabbard Institute of Phi Delta Kappa. They represent 500 plus schools. The Institute has a track record for service that extends over two decades. With the growing number of site councils, many come together to approve of the program before it is launched and to support it as it continues. Topics include presentations on MegaSkills, demonstrations of classroom and workshop sessions, instruction in the teaching and management of the program, evaluation, connections with the family, and problem solving strategies.
Participants work in small study sections.
Action plans are developed. Only persons receiving this training conduct this program. MegaSkills supports an 800 line, E-mail support and an informational web site with a new private service for MegaSkills Network trainees. MegaSkills staff contact all sites by phone, by E-mail and with surveys twice each year. Successes are shared and problems are addressed.
