Description
In 2017, several TBLC members discussed exploring a high-fidelity TBL model for diverse training settings. Many are involved in the translational work of using TBL-T including public and private organizations, in diverse areas including continuing medical education, corporate executive education, and public human services workforce development. The potential for the dissemination of TBL in these areas is hard to overstate, since so many occupations involve regular, ongoing training. Broader practice and acceptance of TBL in the private and public sectors could also support adoption in the education sector as many private and public sector leaders could become TBL advocates either as influential donors, trustees, or community partners. Implementing TBL-T has several dimensions to be considered: * Cultural Shifts: Recognizing the diverse cultures in which training is delivered, and that almost all are distinct from academic environments, and from each other. * Inter-professional opportunities: Training multidisciplinary groups. For example, training and consulting on trauma-informed workforce practices with multiple public agencies with learner groups that include workers in physical and mental health, child welfare, law enforcement/public safety, probation, services to older adults, family violence, and similar. * Language: A significant part of the translational work is using language that is inclusive and appropriate to specific workplace cultures. This can be simply moving from ‘faculty’ to ‘instructor’ or shifting to motivation not based on grades. Or, it may involve using more inclusive application examples in basic TBL workshops, when teaching instructors from diverse fields how to facilitate TBL. * Roles in Workforce Development: Frequently those who deliver curriculum are not those who develop it, so training both sets of people is essential and ‘one size’ of training does not fit all. This workshop will use case studies as pre-work and participants will use TBL applications to collaborate on developing best practices to address the dimensions outlined above.
