"Many
(of our) counselors have collected data on changes
in student behavior and school performance. The positive
results are impressive.
I give Christian Moore and the Why Try program my highest recommendation.

The WhyTry Program is designed to be easy to use, but to
increase your effectiveness, you should consider WhyTry Training

and role-playing to your professional preparation.

We
have recently added an Advanced Training to our schedule
that
focuses on the two different hands-on group experiential
activities for
each Why Try visual metaphor. This training will cover
materials needed, safety rules, set-up, the activity,
and processing the activity back to the visual metaphor.
The hands-on learning activities are particularly helpful
in group environments for increasing participation and
learning among those involved. If you have been to our
certification training and have been teaching the WhyTry
Program, and are looking for more ideas and
instruction to enhance your skills, then this training
is for you.
This is a 4 Day course focusing on the techniques and strategies that will take you from being good at reaching students to being great at reaching even the most difficult students.
Experience the WhyTry Metaphors in greater depth and take away a host of complimenting activities that support the WhyTry Curriculum. This course places emphasis on active learning strategies and methods that promote personal learning through experience. It will highlight environmental, cognitive, and emotional factors that have a direct effect on learning and engage reluctant learners into a positively responsive climate.
These seldom-discussed strategies are often the biggest secrets that empower students. Educational experts advocate emphasis on movement within the total learning experience. This course utilizes a unique, multi-sensory approach to instruction of the WhyTry Curriculum. Key components include high levels of humor, music, and student interaction. Participants can expect to be physically engaged and mentally challenged throughout this highpowered course.
WhyTry
Training makes an excellent staff development program.
It is motivational
and electrifying, even for staff who won’t
use the WhyTry Program on a daily basis. Most staff development
programs are one-day or half-day in duration. These programs
can be adapted to meet your needs, but generally include
a discussion of the origins and principles of the WhyTry
Program, an overview of the Visual Analogies, and an introduction
to the Motivation Formula.
If you have other needs for WhyTry Training at your facility,
WhyTry can provide a qualified trainer to meet your requirements.
We will work with you to develop a program that makes the
WhyTry program most effective in your institutional setting.
Scheduling: On-site training generally needs to be scheduled
three months in advance, but check our calendar for available
dates. To schedule a training event, contact J. Allen.
Pricing: $3,000 per day, plus travel expenses
