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 won’t 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
Break into groups of 3
 Briefly review TIP 42, Chapter 4
 Develop a list of what you like and dislike
 Where are the potential conflict areas with
clinicians you might be training?

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.
