                                                                         Hello and Welcome!    
We are excited that you have chosen to take the post-conference Advanced Peer Practices training and look forward to meeting you in Chicago for the classroom portion of these classes!     We are so glad you are interested in learning advance skills and to take your peer work to the next level. The text that Chris and I have written includes lots of material for you to sink your teeth into. You can read all about how it was developed in the first few pages of the book.   ·         Receiving your textbook – Once we are notified of your registration and payment we will mail your textbook to the shipping address you listed on the registration form.  Please allow 5-10 business days to receive it.  If you have not received your textbook, please contact us at (602) 636 4523 or toll free (866) 481 5362.  We suggest that you read the corresponding chapters in the text before you take the online chapters of the class.  This way you’ll have the points in mind before you read what’s on your screen and you’ll be better prepared to complete the think links.  *The think links in the textbook provide a way to apply the material to your own unique circumstances. Here’s another idea – If you have friends who are also taking this class, get together with them and take the class together.  This way you’ll b able to help each other out if you get stuck. You can also help each other with the think links and come up with some really good ideas. Here are some important things you’ll need to know to get started with the online portion of this class.
