Welcome

Welcome to the online training course for Girls on Board.  

This course works best on all devices except mobile phones

 

Overview and Introducing the Course 

     a. The aim of the course is to make you ready and confident to deliver a Girls on Board session the day after you graduate. (There is a think-piece and book available about boys in Unit of Study 4.)

     b. The total study time for the course is between 4 and 5 hours, but you should aim to take no longer than 2 weeks to complete. It is therefore a good idea to plan to start the course at a point where you know that the next 2 weeks is reasonably free to complete the study requirements. 

     c. There are 4 written tasks; these are designed to enable you to take suitable reflection time to consolidate your learning. The written tasks should be submitted to the facilitator via email and the facilitator will usually respond with 48 hours with further guidance and answers to your questions. The written tasks need not be long or exhaustive; they are a chance to ask questions and reflect. 

     d. Navigation of the course is very simple. There are 4 Units of Study containing around 30 tasks altogether. Apart from written tasks, you will be asked to watch videos and read text-based guidance. There is an indicator of how many minutes we expect you to spend on each task. 

     e. You should undertake the tasks in numerical order rather than identifying one that is longer or shorter that will fit into the time you have available at that moment.

     f. At the end of the course you will be sent a certificate of completion. 

You can begin your study by navigating to Unit of Study 1 on the navigation bar to the left.

Testimonial
I have just finished the training and I am really excited to embed the Girls on Board approach within my school. It provides a real insight into the difficulties that girls face when negotiating friendships and highlights how their insecurities can cause them to misjudge and misread situations. I particularly like the way it encourages resolution as opposed to investigation. I think it empowers schools to provide a consistent message to pupils, parents and staff.
