Which training method has the best outcome on staff effectiveness is the topic for the my research simulation. I chose this topic because I have seen what the lack of training does and how the different types of training methods give different results. For example the staff at the center I work at now uses an online training resource for training. It consist of a pretest, information given by the presenter and/or reading, and a post test. From what I have seen the staff takes the pretest, click through the presentation, and take the post test. They do this because the pretest and post test are pretty much the same. Nothing has been gained from this type of training. I feel this form of training isn’t effective if it isn’t utilized properly.
With just two weeks of this class I am learning to thoroughly analyze information. Not just grouping it using the typical primary or secondary source aspect. This week’s chart gave me an idea on how I can sort the information I am learning in a clear and concise way, where it is easier to refer back to.
If there is any on that has any tips or anything that may help me excel in this course, please share them me. I think this is a course I may have trouble with.

Hi Latoya
I enjoyed reading your post and I am wondering if that is the only training you all are taking because of COVID-19 or this is how it has always been since you’ve been there. I am curious of what you find out doing your research. I think you may want to look at different training that are done outside of online (face to face) and look at ways trainings can enhance the effectiveness of the staff cause it looks like they are used to the same routine.
I too feel as though this course is going to be harder than my previous courses but I am up for the challenge because we are here to help support one another.
Best of luck!

Hi Tonya,
It has always been like this. I know of the other trainings available and they do too. They just choose to do those types of training because they aren’t really doing anything and it’s an easy way to get training hours. Me personally prefer face to face training, since Covid-19 I have taken a face to face online training and I learned a lot from it.

your topic is a great choice. Training is much more than testing online and watching videos. Training needs to be effective in order to beneficial for teachers to incorporate ways to engage children in a way that is interesting to them and make the difference in their performance and learning.

Hello! My research also has to do training teachers. However I am researching developmentally appropriate practice and strategies we can use in the classroom to support this. A large part of my job is to train the pre-k teachers in my district so I am always looking for best practices to show them.
As for this course and research, I would say try not to get overwhelmed by the vast amount of research available. Find a couple data bases and websites and go to them first. Broad google searches can bring you too many options!! Best of luck in this course!
