Engagement and motivation are essential to staff success at mastering MiiWrap. We increase both when we meet learners where they are, offer extra help that they need, and show them that we really see their work and care about their progress.
The process of learning can be messy, and hard to predict. But the alternative is much bleaker – failure to learn. I think we both know what the families enrolled in your services hope you are choosing.
Deeper, more flexible skills are best developed by engaging directly with other, more knowledgeable people. If you are trying to learn something complicated, that has to be customized, that requires you to think differently (like MiiWrap), then you need a real person to talk it through with.
Debriefing is a skillset. This is why we have created Coach Debrief Guides for each of our Foundations Modules. They lay out exactly what needs to happen and in what order. The coach just needs to enter the specific learner information for each section, and then follow the guide when debriefing.
A core obligation of any coach is to make sure that their learners are really learning. That doesn’t just happen – you need a plan that involves collecting real evidence. See our plan to understand what we mean.
The story of Susan and Angela illustrates why a training strategy without sufficient evidence collection and review will not consistently produce learning and training transfer.
23 amazing coaches is a start, but it won’t create the kind of impact we are going for. That is why we have decided to throw open the gates and see who else is ready to rise to the challenge of implementing MiiWrap at their site.
Coaches are working their way through our new online Foundations of MiiWrap course. Some of them share their experiences so far, and why they think MiiWrap is the right fit for them.
Vroon VDB is starting MiiWrap coaching and training with experienced wraparound coaches and supervisors. Learn more about the training in this blog.
Our online MiiWrap training addresses many common concerns of coaches. It streamlines both the learning and the administrative process of training.
