• Full day lectures, handouts, and video models.

• Staff assigned application homework of data collection and videotaping  of themselves working with students

• Staff present their assignments and receive feedback

• Collaboration between behavior analyst and administration to choose staff that will move on to TOT Level 1 Advanced or begin co-training in the TOT Level 2 in preparation for becoming the district’s own trainer.
