  1. My name is Shana Carroll ho and I am an instructional design master's degree student
  2. at Grand Canyon University.
  3. The purpose of this video is to share
  4. an overview of the learning solution I've created
  5. as a supplementary resource to head starts trainings
  6. in the video.
  7. I'll discuss how this learning solution
  8. could be implemented within the organization
  9. as well as how it supports Head starts, goals and vision.
  10. Additionally I'll share a couple ideas for extending and adapting it
  11. to support a continuous learning culture.
  12. The topic is positive interactions
  13. supporting brain growth and development.
  14. The manner in which we interact with Children
  15. has enormous power to shape their growing brains.
  16. So this topic is a relevant one to teachers and
  17. staff who spend 7-8 hours each day with these Children.
  18. During this video I'll give you an overview of
  19. the format and content of the learning solution,
  20. strategies for implementation,
  21. how it supports head starts goals and vision and
  22. ideas for how the learning experience can be extended.
  23. The elements of this training are based on research that I
  24. carried out through stakeholder interviews
  25. with head start administrative staff.
  26. The data was collected and interpreted to create
  27. a solution that would meet the needs of learners
  28. as well as the goals of the organization.
  29. It is not intended as a replacement for existing trainings but as a supplement,
  30. it's designed for those employees who might need even more basic
  31. step by step information on what is meant by positive interactions.
  32. It is supported by two adult learning theories.
  33. Ghanaians, nine events of instruction and Noll's theory of Andrew Gaggi.
  34. The core of this training is designed for small
  35. in person groups,
  36. of course the possibility of needing to pivot to virtual learning
  37. is always a factor and it's completely adaptable to that need.
  38. There is a power point presentation with presenters, notes,
  39. a facilitators guide with step by step
  40. instructions and a supplemental learning module.
  41. The E learning module can be used either as a refresher
  42. or for learners who can't attend an in person training.
  43. As I previously mentioned,
  44. the content focuses on the fundamental
  45. skills and concepts of positive interactions.
  46. It's intended for those who need extra support in
  47. what exactly is meant by interacting with Children positively.
  48. If this is something they may not have had as Children,
  49. it's entirely possible and logical that they may be unaware of a
  50. few basic strategies that could help them succeed in this area.
  51. The module includes some basic information on how the brain responds to both,
  52. both positive and negative interactions with a focus on the positive,
  53. It breaks down a positive interaction
  54. into four components of nonverbal communication.
  55. I contact, tone of voice,
  56. gentle, appropriate touch and mirroring a child's expression
  57. in order to promote emotional awareness and connection.
  58. Active collaborative learning during the training
  59. allows learners to practice these skills,
  60. training, logistics,
  61. the training can be presented in person or virtually
  62. if presented virtually the group activities could be completed in breakout rooms
  63. then shared with the whole group,
  64. an emphasis is placed on active learning
  65. and collaboration within the training experience.
  66. If the E learning module is used,
  67. a learning management system would need to be accessible
  68. to head start in order to run that.
  69. The assessment components include a checklist that coaches can use
  70. during classroom coaching sessions.
  71. Additionally, the group activities during training
  72. serve as a formative assessment.
  73. Finally, the E learning module contains an in
  74. of course
  75. multiple choice quiz.
  76. The solution was designed to support head starts goals and vision.
  77. As teachers build their skills in the area of positive interactions,
  78. they grow more confident in managing Children's behavior positively
  79. as well
  80. as connecting with them more effectively,
  81. which leads to fewer challenging behaviors.
  82. This leads to a more effective, satisfied staff and increases employee retention
  83. as employees are supported in interacting positively with Children,
  84. they can transfer these skills to parents,
  85. family members and colleagues,
  86. building a better workplace culture and demonstrating head starts heart
  87. for serving others.
  88. Positive interactions with Children can lead to higher class scores,
  89. steady progress for Children in TSG levels
  90. and a higher level of employee satisfaction.
  91. This training solution can be extended for further in depth learning in a few ways.
  92. First,
  93. through incorporating more videos that model positive interactions and
  94. sharing these during staff meetings or small training sessions.
  95. Employees could also make videos of
  96. positive interactions that occur in their classrooms
  97. to share during meetings or trainings
  98. last a shoutout board could be created where employees or
  99. educational leads could post when they noticed these interactions happening.
  100. Thank you for your time and your commitment for helping teachers to learn and grow.
