PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Up-to-Date Science of Adult Learning
ETR is well known for is its longstanding commitment
to theory- and science-based health education.
We bring a similar framework to our
Professional Development services.
When we train to evidence-based interventions (EBIs), we achieve greater
success by using a science-based approach in our trainings. As we navigate
the science of learning, targeting both youth and adults, there’s an ever-
greater need to understand the evidence and use the most effective meth-
ods for putting it to work.
Using the science of adult learning helps us achieve stron-
ger positive effects from implementation. We value and
support a culture of ongoing professional development,
and we believe in and adhere to the following principles:
§
§
The power of evidence-based programs is enhanced
when they are implemented with fidelity—that is,
when instructors cover all of the necessary content
and skills.
§
§
It’s essential to train educators, health service
providers and key stakeholders on the elements of
successful implementation.
§
§
A model of
Distributive Learning
makes professional development more effective.
We recognize that learning transfer—taking a premise
from concept to practice—is not a one-time event,
but a process that occurs over time.
§
§
Delivering dynamic and substantive trainings
empowers participants and results in key skills and
knowledge transfer.
The Nuts and Bolts of It
Distributive Learning
The distribution of a learning process delivered over
time, in a planned and pedagogically sound manner,
either exclusively through online (virtual) technologies,
or through blending online technologies with traditional
in-person skill-development strategies.
