Training, Programming Resources, Stress Management and Life Balance Information,
& Monthly Planning Guides: Reslife.Net
launches New On-Line Subscription Based Services for Resident Assistants By Terri Scanlon,
Managing Director, Reslife.Net We’re
all looking for ways to make our lives a bit easier. Life is hectic and
adding in the R.A. job only adds to the pressure. To make life just a
bit easier, Reslife.Net is offering a level of subscription-based services
for Resident Assistants that will start in September and run through April
2002. We’ve
put together an innovative bundle of services and resources that we think
you will like, which can be purchased by housing and residence life departments
for their staff members. The cost for the service is $10 per R.A. for
the 8-month period. On-Line
In-service Training in the "Loving the Learnin" Area You’ll
"love the learnin" when it’s on-line and convenient. The
service will offer a series of 8 in-service training programs, that you
can complete independently at times when it is convenient to you. The
trainers for these programs are highly rated presenters from around the
nation. The on-line courses will be linked through message boards to permit
communication between class members and the program trainer. 2001-2002
On-Line In-service Training Syllabus: "Lovin the Learnin"
On-Line
Programming Resources in the "Virtual Programming" Area We know
that from time to time even the most successful programmers on staff need
fresh ideas. We also know about those R.A.s who could be described as
"programming challenged". Every month
10 new programming plans and ideas with canned advertising will be loaded
into the subscription-based services "Virtual Programming" area.
Each program plan will include an overall program description and "to
do" list, along with assessment information on workload requirements,
targeted numbers of participants, approximate length of program, and overall
program summary information. Stress
Management and Life Balance Information We know
you’re stressed, and at points we know you try to do too much. That’s
why we’re providing information on stress management and life balance.
This component
of the subscription based services bundle will consist of downloadable
audio feed relaxation and guided visualization exercises, as well as educational
information about stress management and finding life balance. The downloadable
audio feed information will require access to high-speed Internet connections,
or individuals using the service could experience long download delays
and problems. Again, we’ve
worked to get excellent quality individuals who will provide this information
to us. Facilitated by Michele Collins-Davies, a certified life coach,
and Leah Cooper, facilitator of stress management workshops/training,
these offerings will rotate throughout the 8-month subscription period,
with life balance information being offered for 4 of the 8 months, and
stress management information being offered for 4 of the 8 months. Monthly
Planning Guide: Rules of the Road As a final
part of the subscription based service bundle, we’ll get you thinking
in advance about the things you need to know in the job. We’re hoping
that this information will help you plan for and anticipate the normal
things that happen as part of the RA job. In mid-June
you’ll be able to preview these new services. The service will only
be available to registered members later in the summer. Just enter the
RA page, click on the subscription based services button on the right
hand side of the site, and check out the new things that will be offered
this year. To gain access to the subscription service area, you will need to complete a short registration form. |
