Basic Intensive Weeks Next Training "Intensive" refers to the amount of information that is presented during the four-day (27 hours) training. Participants will experience a wide-variety of instructional processes to ensure that everyone's learning style will be addressed. PowerPoint Presentations, activities, lecture, discussion, practice, cooperative learning groups, skill-practice and humor will be used to provide an enjoyable learning experience for everyone. The emphasis is always on moving the content from theory to practice! Topics include:
You will also have the opportunity to practice what you learn! All weeks, whether Basic or Advanced, follow one of two formats. The week may be scheduled over at least four sequential days of equal length with 27 working hours; or as an alternative option, the training may take place over two sessions of two and one-half days. Bob will teach and demonstrate the use of Reality Therapy in a variety of settings. He/she will help build an environment that is conducive to learning and practicing new skills. **There are no educational requirements for attendance at a Basic Intensive Week. In order to receive an Institute Certificate of Completion at the end of the week, the participant must attend throughout the full training week. Advanced Intensive Weeks (From the William Glasser Institute Policy & Procedures Manual) Only those individuals who have been recommended by their Basic Practicum Supervisor may attend an Advanced Week. Institute policy requires that all participants must have a different instructor for their Advanced Intensive Week than the instructor from whom they took their Basic Intensive Week. In order to receive an Institute Certificate of Completion, a participant must attend the entire Advanced Intensive Week. The Advanced Intensive Week is primarily designed to afford the participant an opportunity to study Choice Theory, Reality Therapy and Lead-Management in much greater depth. During this week, the participant is expected to participate more actively than during the Basic Intensive Week. There is more time allotted to role-playing and processing of the role-plays. During this week participants will increase their knowledge of the interrelationship of the various components of the process, as well as their understanding of Dr. Glasser's books. The professional issues outlined in the Basic Intensive Week content will be reviewed further, and all participants will receive a copy of the Programs, Policies & Procedures of The William Glasser Institute. Participants are expected to participate fully in role-playing as both the helper and helpee and explore the utilization of Reality Therapy concepts with a wide variety of client populations. Instructors place more emphasis on the need to understand the behaviors of both the helpers and helpees from the perspective of Choice Theory.
Practicum

Choice Theory helps us understand and explain the behaviors of our clients and students, but it is reality therapy that is the process that helps (us) others take more effective control of (our) their lives.
