Train the Trainer and Equity Trainer Certification:

three to five day interactive session, giving a presentation and completing an
exam.
Sessions are conducted by certified Gender Equity trainers and Diversity
practitioners.
"The most useful tools I have received from gender equity training are
strategies to recruit and build up confidence of young women in physics. I have
learned to be deliberate and strategic in my praise and have found that young
women in my class need that praise more often than young men. The young women in
my class have grown into the leaders and often outscore the young men on the AP
exam."
