Overview of Required Training
Enhance your programs by participating in cutting-edge training.When you officially adopt the Standards by becoming a Provisional Member, you pledge that your organization will be involved in three forms of training:
- A one-time Standards Introductory Workshop (SIW). This SOE-sponsored 6-8 hour interactive workshop will help you learn how to achieve all seven Standards, and how to form and manage your own Peer Review process.
-
Attendance no less than once every three years at one
of the on-going
STM
Training Conferences. Some conferences are devoted
entirely to training in STM, while other conferences provide
choices of several tracks (one track of which is STM). The
conferences are sponsored by other groups or organizations (not
by the SOE).
- Completion of a Peer Review (PR) at least once every three years. A Peer Review involves forming a Peer Review Team of 3-5 STM personnel from at least three different SOE member organizations who perform an evaluation of your STM program to encourage, motivate, and challenge you toward excellence.
