TPE Resources

The True PIKE Experience is a fully developed program built with the PIKE members in mind so all that chapters must do is plan, prepare, and execute.
The True PIKE Experience resources are:

• Position Handbooks exist for everyone in the member development cabinet highlighting the program, delineating their roles and responsibilities with a syllabus outlining the curriculum.
• Slide Decks & Facilitator Guides exist for each of the educators to execute on the educational curriculum. These resources provide visual and oral guidance in order to provide strategic, guided development.
• The Educator Toolbox exists to aid the member development cabinet in becoming dynamic public speakers, presenters, and facilitators in order to truly make member development effective.
• The Educational Content Calendar is a planning tool for the member development cabinet to plan their educational sessions for each developmental phase of The True PIKE Experience.

Below is a quick video with information on all TPE resources.
