Creating a Culture of Learning: Enhancing the Learning Environment of Your Unit
Participate in a Distance Learning Just For Supervisors
|
 The Ohio Child Welfare Training Program is excited to offer two sessions of a two-hour distance learning for supervisors. This distance learning will take much of the information you read in this newsletter and take it to the next level by presenting strategies and tools for you to use with you unit. Supervisors will be able to access the distance learning from their desk and join a facilitated dialogue with supervisors from around the state as they discuss this important topic. This workshop will lay out the elements of a healthy learning environment and challenge participants as to their personal role in the enhancement of learning in his/her agency. Participants will learn some very simple, practical action items that can be implemented at the agency as well as have the opportunity to think through some longer term strategies to help move their organization toward one that is maximizing learning at all levels. The facilitator for this distance learning is Darren Varnado, MPA. He has worked in child welfare for over 20 years. In his position as regional training center director for the Southwest Ohio Regional Training Center he has had the opportunity to consult with numerous agencies on how to enhance the learning environment to achieve greater degrees of transfer of learning. In addition, he is an adjunct professor at Northern Kentucky University where he teaches on Human Services Organizational Leadership. |
