What methods are most effective?

• Small group work/breakouts

• Using a variety/combination of methods

• Modeling/demonstrating/role playing

• Sharing experiences

“To ensure that we meet all of our learners

needs, we provide many learning opportunities

from lectures (no more than 20 minutes

switching pace), games, videos, small group

breakouts. We have found that providers learn

best when interacting and sharing their own

experiences in share-outs.”

“Building a relationship with providers has been the

most effective way we have found for learning. Meeting

providers where they are at in their career path. We

email providers hand outs and resources prior to the

trainings. We call providers that may need more TA.”

RESPONSIVENESS

OTHER THAN LANGUAGE WHAT ARE SOME CULTURAL

CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR TRAININGS?

15

• Accessibility: financial, technology, special needs/disabilities

• Respecting different religious and cultural holidays and observations

• Male caregiver perspective

• Trauma/intergenerational trauma

• Cultural beliefs on discipline, nutrition/food, immunizations, timeliness, disease,

healing

• Promoting cultural inclusivity in the child care setting

“With virtual training, we have had to be respectful of the fact

that some want to receive the training, but not on camera as

they don't want their private space seen. We have offered Racial

Justice, and Trauma Informed Care this year which have been

well received; we did a Winter Traditions around the world

workshop which was "light" but we plan to go deeper next year.”

“We serve a diverse community who are of different

religions and cultural backgrounds. Trainers are mindful

to be respectful and inclusive, ensuring all are able to

participate. When planning trainings, facilitators include

a Cultural Training curriculum and discuss different

cultural backgrounds and experiences. We found this to

be an effective way to learn about each other.”

Very Easy 12.73%

Somewhat Easy 32.73%

Somewhat Difficult 36.36%

Very Difficult 14.55%

Pandemic Experience Themes

Technology challenges: internet connectivity, using a new application, having the

right e-tools

Initially it was challenging, but then everyone became comfortable, and it became

easy and normal.

Overall, virtual trainings increased participation and removed barriers.

CCIP Training Trends, 5/26/21

“We are so very impressed by those we

serve. Our team worked hard with

groups and individuals to build skills that

allowed continued connection and access

to virtual training. It wasn't easy but

it was NOWHERE near as difficult as

we might have imagined.”

“The providers really

enjoyed joining zoom. The

providers were happy they

were not away from their

family long before the

training and long after the

training. They did not need

to travel.”

“Initially, it was somewhat difficult as we

had to learn Zoom, etc, as well as support

providers in learning it, too. We believe we

have done quite well in adjusting, and have

found providers to be engaged and

appreciative of the flexibility that virtual

training provides.”

“Most of our trainings had a few more

participants than pre-pandemic because people

found it easier to participate. Some came to

multiple trainings for the first time ever,

despite being in business for a long time, due to

the ease of virtual. In our county, just a few

more participants compared to before is

remarkable.”
