Post-Training Resources

Upon completion of The Inside-Out Instructor Training Institute, you will have joined an international community of educators and leaders who are committed to changing the world through transformative education and dialogue.

In 2019, the Inside-Out Training Institute offered its first Temple-issued certificate to attendees who have successfully completed the training. In addition, we will also send you an Inside-Out Digital Badge, which you can attach to your email signature, LinkedIn page, Facebook page, and other social media platforms you may use. Both documents will be sent to you once all payments have been received.

There are several ways that The Inside-Out Center offers support after the training.

The Inside-Out Center also has an online platform to provide ongoing support to instructors and facilitate communication and collaboration. The Inside-Out Resource Community can be accessed at www.insideoutresources.org. Educators who have completed all requirements of the Inside-Out Instructor Training Institute are eligible to set up a login ID and password. The platform contains the following resources.

The website includes documents such as syllabi from multiple academic disciplines, memoranda of understanding (MOUs), training materials, research materials, classroom exercises, group project examples, program development resources, and much more. If you have any questions or you would like to share resources with the community, please send an email to insideoutresource@gmail.com. NOTE: These resources are intended only for instructors who have completed the Inside-Out training.

The Inside-Out Center collects and shares up-to-date information on Inside-Out activity around the world. The website has a data collection page where educators can submit and view semester teaching reports.

There will be general discussion forums for topics pertaining to the broader community, such as strategizing outreach to correctional facilities, encouraging universities to pay for inside student credit, working through teaching challenges, coming up with new ideas for classroom exercises, etc.

Inside-Out hosts periodic Zoom discussions and webinars on topics relevant to Inside-Out instructors such as: developing relationships with correctional facilities, establishing think tanks, professional and emotional self-care, dealing with trauma in the classroom, as well as many social justice issues.

“I feel incredibly thankful to have stumbled upon the world of Inside-Out teaching. My involvement in Inside-Out has given me a venue, even as I am employed at an elite university, to put significant energies into education with disenfranchised people, as well as into collaboration amidst deep forms of diversity. The experience has highlighted the transformative value to students of combining intellectual, emotional and experiential learning. I have expanded my capacities and deepened my knowledge as an instructor and as a human being.”

(Inside-Out Instructor)
