Training Trainers on Social Cognition and Mind Science
The REP has been training advocates to educate their organizations and clients on the REP tools (Social Cognition and Mind Science, Framing, Community Lawyering, the Intent Doctrine, GIS and Mapping, and Structural and Institutional Discrimination) for the last several years. We’ve decided to share some of the slides we use to train trainers on social cognition and mind science. The training trainers course introduces future trainers to the core concepts of social cognition and mind science. The training trainers course and the slides displayed below are more technical in nature then the slides used to introduce advocates and community members to social cognition and mind science.
