- Transferring Learning to Practice
The domain Transferring Learning to Practice is the most important for successful implementation when the learner returns to their work. These indicators involve ongoing support that will be provided to participants to guide implementation (Joyce & Showers, 2002). While some presenters may be available after the training for follow-up coaching, it is most common for the presenter’s involvement to end after the training session.
The presenter should:
- Provide resources that clearly detail criteria for determining successful transfer to practice, such as a rubric, checklist, or guidelines with implementation benchmarks.
- Provide resources to support implementation and further study.
- Engage participants in planning how the first stage of implementation will look in their setting.
To support fidelity of implementation, the local provider should:
- Provide ongoing two-way communication on the implementation of the practice. This ongoing coaching should be systematic and may occur in association with classroom observations, team meetings, or ongoing collaboration efforts.
