Prevent Child Abuse New York's Training and Staff Development Team is pleased to offer:

Workbooks on the Transfer of Learning:
from Healthy Families America's FSW and FAW Core Training to Working with Families

These  practical workbooks for supervisors and managers will assist programs in supporting both new and seasoned home visitors and assessment workers.

The workbooks enable managers and supervisors to help staff:
  • Retain information from core training
  • Develop understanding of concepts from core training
  • Develop and apply skills from core training to on-the-job situations

Did you know?

Training alone is not sufficient to allow acquisition and application of new skills. That is why people rarely return from a workshop able to use new skills and behaviors on the job.

More than 80% of job-related learning occurs in the workplace, not in a training room. Learning from training can be significantly increased when there is structured support before and after the event. This helps the trainee apply the new skills and knowledge to real on-the-job situations.

Adults learn the most when they perform activities and solve problems connected to actual on-the-job situations. A transfer of learning (TOL) plan helps adult learners make the link between theoretical knowledge and real skills.
The workbooks:
  • Identify competencies from FSW and FAW Core Training and link them to the HFA Critical Elements.
  • Provide transfer of learning (TOL) activities and exercises for the pre- and post-core periods.
  • Include worksheets that can be duplicated, completed, signed by the supervisor, and placed in the staff member's personnel file or in the program's training record files.
  • Provide a new source of documentation for many standards and so can be used in a site's self-assessment prior to HFA credentialing.
