TACTICAL SOCIAL INTERACTION® TRAIN-THE-TRAINER
The research-based, student-centered, non-lecture Tactical Social Interaction (TSI) program has been demonstrated to enhance students' ability to adapt to and navigate culturally diverse environments, as well as complex social situations, while maintaining strong tactical awareness. It places "stranger encounters" in a context that allows for simple steps to complete the planning stages of encountering and disengaging. TSI ® training enhances a student's self-awareness, analytical abilities, situation awareness, and interactive skills. The TSI ® Train-The-Trainer curriculum is designed as a 5-day, 40-hour, student-led adult learning process that facilitates cognitive and psychomotor learning opportunities. It gives the student the ability to experiment with, demonstrate, evaluate, and teach back tools of effective Tactical Social Interactions®. The curriculum's content is based on seven behavioral competencies for successful social encounters and is delivered using ill-structured problems, a team-led design with small student units, student teach-backs, and community engagement pieces in which students observe and strategically engage in social encounters in a public setting while maintaining situational awareness.
The seven competencies are:
- Pre-Planning
- Observe/Assess
- Contact
- Engage
- Self-Control
- Adapt
- Disengagement
The competencies encompass a wide range of abilities, including emotional and cultural intelligence, bias awareness, mental rehearsal methods, surveillance, body language reading, and force de-escalation. Students who complete this course walk away with the materials and confidence to deliver a one-day training on strategic interactions and implicit bias to others in their career field or agency.
