CiPP Module 10: Onsite Residential Immersion

I In this final module, participants move from students to teachers. By synthesizing and summarizing what is personally most compelling about positive psychology via the final project, and presenting to a small group of peers, this module emphasizes the concept of serving it forward—sharing with others key lessons learned. This way, even as our class ends, our impact continues to grow and we come to understand the paradox of endings as beginnings.

Module 10 has no additional reading. In preparation for the immersion, please complete your final project and bring your signature strengths inventory (VIAcharacter.org) with you.

Credits for social workers and coaches will be available (as of this writing, APA credits are still under review). There is a $30 charge for each awarding agency, or a $10 fee for Letters of Attendance. Fees must be paid and attendance sheets for each session signed for before credits are awarded. Fees are non-refundable after the final day of the immersion. Registration and payment for the desired credentials will open a week before the immersion.

This is an expression of what you find interesting and compelling.

Prior to the second immersion, you are required to give the presentation twice, with an audience of at least three people each time. These can be given within your group, with family and friends, for co-workers, or out in your community.

During the immersion, you will share the presentations in four ways:

1. Poster session: Bring a poster that describes your final project. It can be any size and material (flip-chart paper, lighter stock, or poster board) as long as it can be hung up. There is no minimum size requirement; the maximum size is based on ability to be hung. Use the size you need to convey your key points. Your poster can include text, visuals, or artwork. If your final project includes a tangible product (like a CD or book), include that, too, along with contact information so that others can connect with you about it. Remember to include a title, your name, key points, and contact information.

2. Small group presentations: You will present the final project to a small group assigned for the purpose of practice and feed-forward. Please bring four copies of any handouts, a list of bulleted highlights, or other supportive material.

3. Large group share: This is optional. For those who are interested, there will be an open mic night at the immersion, when students can present a condensed 10-minute overview of their project to the whole group.

4. Faculty submission: In order to meet the requirements for certification, you must submit a paragraph-long synopsis to the faculty no later than a week prior to the immersion. The submission form is below.

In summary, the key points are as follows:
