Stipend
Guidelines:
First you must
follow the
American Lung
Association Professional Standards In Conducting Courses which you signed during
the training (Click
Here to see a copy)
1.
Facilitators must complete all program sessions of the NOT/ATS program to
receive the stipend.
2.
Completed sessions will not be grandfathered.
3.
Each school is eligible to receive five $100 stipends for running the ATS
program per school year for a maximum of $500 per school. Currently there is no
limit for the number of NOT clinics you can run and receive stipends for.
4.
Simultaneous ATS programs started every other week at the same school will not
be endorsed. To be eligible for the stipend the facilitator must complete the
series of four sessions prior to commencing a new one.
5.
To be eligible to earn a stipend there must be at least three students
participating in the ATS or NOTclass. The NOT/ATS program requires many group
activities. Furthermore, the research for this program was completed with the
teens participating in small groups of 5-7. We feel that in order maintain the
integrity of the N-O-T/ATS program we must insure the small group dynamics. We
believe that by participating in the Small Group environment youth develop
effective communication and caring skills. Small groups provide a sense of
security for the teens and lets them know they are not alone in their addiction;
it gives them a support network. Small groups further provide an environment to
which facilitators can be more effective and productive than they could ever be
on a one-to-one basis.
6.
Facilitators must submit the required evaluation forms to receive the stipends.
Common Errors:
-
Giving the pre and post “What about me”
surveys on the same day.
Giving the surveys on the same
day does not allow us to assess if the program was helpful to the students.
-
Not insuring the students initialed both
surveys.
If the students don’t initial
the surveys I can’t assess the degree of cessation or reduction.
-
Incomplete packages.
I’ll receive the What about me
2 but not the What about me 1.
-
Still using the NOT curriculum as a
disciplinary program.
The ATS program has been
developed as the disciplinary program. NOT is a volunteer program.
-
Claiming a program with insufficient students.
Running a NOT class with only
one student. I understand that you
may only have one or two
students that are asking for help. And I
certainly hope you are able to
provide one-on-one counseling, you just
can’t call it a NOT class. We
also have self help “Power Guides” that t
he student can request, if you
only have one or two students.
