Make It Your Mission is a group professional development training for educators that prioritizes and improves boundaried teacher-student relationships at your school. At OTA, we are on a mission to ensure that every young person has at least one trusted adult because research shows that this one factor can greatly impact academic growth and positive youth development. This training addresses: why this mission is so important right now, what a trusted adult is and isn’t, and how to make strengthening connections with youth your mission personally and organizationally every day, all year long. The Make It Your Mission program includes: ✔️ 4-module video program designed for group viewing ✔️ Discussion questions and reflection guide How to Implement: Watch with your team as one 60-minute video session or as four 15-minute video sessions. Lead a group discussion using the thought-provoking reflection guide or encourage community members to reflect individually or with a partner. Set goals for school-connectedness that you and your team can check back in on all year long. Program details: Purchase includes a one-year subscription so you can run with as many groups or cohorts as you see fit. If you are looking to support parents and caregivers by providing a common language and understanding when it comes to supporting youth, please check out “It’s Our Mission” — a video series designed to be facilitated for a gathering of parents and caregivers.
