Some thoughts on Parallel Process

Engaging training participants is like engaging clients so much depends on it! You all come into this training with skills and knowledge that needs to be validated. Training, like therapy, is a dance. Adult educational issues. Staff change and dealing with resistance. Questions and process.

But enough about me

What are you hoping to gain from today?

Knowing what your participants expect from the training, especially if that is not what you expect to present, can help avoid a car crash later.

The Adult Learner

They are less forgiving about poorly prepared instructors, having questionable expertise, and not having suitable supplementary materials. They value their own life experience (for good reason) and want to share and discuss it in small groups and as a class. As they know the world to be complex, they expect to learn multiple ways of solving problems and to have discretion in applying the material.

They need the opportunity for reflection after trying out a new application or method. Rote learning just wont work for them. They are practical and are usually quite disinterested in theory. They demand that the materials have immediate utility and relevant application.
(Wlodkowski, 1993; Vella, 1994)

It is also important to recognize that men and women may learn differently.

Dealing With Staff Resistance

Clinical staff, like clients, may be ambivalent about change. The presenter needs to role with resistance by validating their feelings about change. It is less about change as it is about being changed. Change, in this case, might mean more work.

Training Content

Training Modules Designed

In clusters of five 60 to 90 minute sessions that build on one another. To provide agencies the ability to present this information in a series of in-service trainings. So that smaller agencies can combine their staff with other agency staff to deliver these trainings. To provide information over a period of time with assignments between sessions to increases the potential for retention and implementation.
