Teens - both high school and college students - have turned out to be wonderful instructors for Eyeball It!®. It’s a peer-to-peer learning model that pays huge benefits to both groups of young people, often encouraging teens to consider teaching as a career. The Eyeball It!® team urges every user organization to look for ways to recruit teen instructors, either paid or volunteer.

Training consists of 3 parts:

1) Complete the Homework for organization leadership, supervising staff and instructors. This must be done before presenting/watching the Training Video. See Homework. For leadership/supervisors preparing to present the video, please print copies of the hand-outs for each participant.

2) Watch the Training Video on a big screen as a group, listening carefully and looking at the relevant hand-outs.

3) Do Drawing Exercise #1, just as the instructors-in-training are doing it in the video.
