Training

The goal of HealthSmart is to promote the healthy growth and development of youth and give them the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices and establish life-long healthy behaviors.

In the same way the HealthSmart program is grounded in research and best practices, ETR provides a research-based approach to our professional learning processes. This includes the provision of pre-work (to prime participants so they have the background and content information needed to fully engage in the work), skill building, and follow-up implementation support.

ETR offers a variety of training options for HealthSmart users:

Self-Paced Online Orientation

  • For new implementers, we offer a Self-Paced Online Orientation to familiarize educators with the HealthSmart framework and research base. Educators with a HealthSmart account can complete the self-paced orientation to learn the basics and become more familiar with the program foundation.
    (You must be logged into your HealthSmart subscription to access the Online Orientation below.)

HealthSmart 101

  • For a more in-depth look at HealthSmart, we can provide a 1.5 to 3-hour live virtual training for educators, including a curriculum demonstration and other tools and tips for using HealthSmart.
