MICRO-SKILLS
TAASA’s Prevention Team is excited to invite attendees to submit proposals for micro-skills sessions at the Institute. We think that each of you are wicked smart, and we continue to be impressed with the creative work happening across Texas!
Micro-Skills sessions will only last 30 minutes and will provide facilitators with an opportunity to share a very specific and focused skill, strategy, or activity related to prevention work with their peers. Ideally, these sessions will involve no more than 20 minutes of instruction and save at least 10 minutes for attendees to practice the skill, strategy, or activity being shared. Please consider submitting a micro-skill proposal – we know you have amazing activities and strategies to share! We are excited to learn from you!
To submit a micro-skills session proposal, click here. Micro-skill proposals are due by 5 PM (CST) on Friday, June 7, 2019.
