Research indicates that learning is enhanced when the learners feel safe physically and psychologically. Employees and students come to training activities with complex histories including traumatic experiences from environmental tragedies, incarceration, medical treatments, race and gender discrimination, severe family dysfunction, substance abuse, violence, etc, as well as different limitations, strengths and preferences for how to receive new information.
Trainers can prepare intelligently and meet learners more effectively.
Creating and delivering training that is more accessible and effective for everyone takes effort and time. Be responsive to feedback and continue to seek information during the journey. Here are some resources from MSU to assist you.
Be ready to flex the mode for instruction and assessment. Skills and knowledge can be transferred in multiple ways. If need arises, check with the Ability system support team to discuss alternatives to delivering training that will meet workplace competencies while also assisting an individual's needs, including barriers to reading level, language, etc.
