Families Certification prepares selected facilitators to lead The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families workshop in their school community. This article explains the three steps to certification and how Families Administrators guide facilitators through the process. To get started, open the My Learning dropdown in the top navigation and select Families Certification.
Selected facilitators can access the Certification Process page, which includes a progress tracker for the three steps required for certification.
Take The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families OnDemand workshop and discover how to lead the most important organization in the world: your family.
Explore the five key elements of facilitating The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families workshop through the facilitator guide and instructional videos featuring seasoned facilitators for each Habit.
Practice your new skills by facilitating a teach-back session with colleagues.
Families Administrators help facilitators complete certification by inviting them, uploading their signed agreements, and scheduling and approving their teach-back sessions.
1. Go to the Families Certification page.
2. Click View Facilitators to open the Facilitators Dashboard.
3. Click +Add School Staff or +Invite Parent to invite up to six school community members.
Note: The Start Certification button becomes available only after you upload a signed agreement for the facilitator.
1. Go to the Facilitators Dashboard.
2. For each facilitator, click the three-dot menu in the Action column and select Upload Agreement. Allowed file types are .pdf and .doc.
After you upload an agreement, the facilitator's status changes from Pending to Approved. To view an uploaded agreement, click View Agreement.
After a facilitator completes Steps 1 and 2, schedule a date and time for them to teach back a segment they've learned. Coordinate schedules so others certifying at your school can attend. If only one person is certifying, invite four or five colleagues to serve as the audience.
1. On the Families Certification page, click View Facilitators.
2. On the Facilitators Dashboard, click Schedule and choose a date.
3. When the facilitator completes a successful teach-back session, click Mark Teach Back as Complete.
Note: Facilitators must start Step 1 before you can schedule their teach-back session.
Certified facilitators can work with their school community to schedule workshops and invite parents and guardians.
Use the Facilitator Kit to help families learn the Habits.
