EBP Teaching Strategies-
Workshop Objectives1. Describe several theories that guide
effective adult education, applicable to PSR practitioner education.
2. Articulate several advantages of utilizing person-centered experiential learning methods.
3. Apply adult learning theories to create at least one experiential learning activity for classroom instruction, reflective of evidence-based strategies.
2
EBP Teaching Strategies-
Overview Share exemplary learning activities used
in PSR education/training (Pre-/In-/Admin) Examine Bloom’s theoretical framework Review evidence-based context and
strategies for teaching/training Develop learning activities congruent
with EBP strategies

Evidence-based Workforce Development Strategies for Evidence-based Practices in Mental Health (SAMHSA/HSRI) report
(Leff et al. 2007)
College-level educators are- Experts in specific content areas. Non-experts in teaching methodology.
(p.10)

TraditionalPost-secondary Education
HSRI report (Leff et al, 2007) raises concerns-
Didactic v. dialectic/interactive learning
Passive v. active learners Memorization v. creative & critical
thinking Textbook knowledge v. practical
application5
EB WorkforceDevelopment Report
(Leff et al, 2007)
Need to train learners to be creative and critical thinkers
Prepare for competency with practical application to mental health field
Evidence from research reveals several theoretical frameworks linked to effective teaching/training best practice

“Training-As Usual” (Leff et al, 2007)”
Ineffective in changing practitioner behavior or consumer outcomes
(Sholomskas et al., 2005)
Effective in knowledge acquisition
(Cook, Horton-O’Connell, Fitzgibbon, & Steigman, 1998; Sholomskas et
al., 2005)
Bloom’s Taxonomy:
•Evaluation
•Synthesis
•Analysis
•Application
•Comprehension
•Knowledge8
Bloom’s TaxonomyEVALUATION (evaluating)
Description: Justifying a decision or course of action.Actions: hypothesizing/critiquing/experimenting/judging efficacy
SYNTHESIS (creating)Description: Generating new ideas/products/ways of viewing things.Actions: designing/constructing/planning/producing/inventing
ANALYSIS (analysing)Description : Breaking information into parts to study relationships.Actions: comparing/organizing/deconstructing/interrogating/finding
APPLICATION (applying)Description : Using information in another familiar situation.Actions : implementing/carrying out/using/executing
COMPREHENSION (understanding)Description : Explaining ideas or concepts.Actions:
conferencing and face-face instruction) Weekend instruction (e.g., PCMH-one
weekend per month) Evening instruction; on-site training Summer/holiday week long institutes
18
EBP Training Strategies- 10.Trainers use multifaceted strategies involving two or more individual training strategies
Mix of face to face instruction with distance learning strategies (listserves, Blackboard, email, skype)
Workshop followed by ongoing technical assistance, consultation, or mentoring
Videotaping of applied activities and then use during classroom discussion
19
Small Group Activity
Apply checklist to individual learning activity Group into Pre-/In-/Admin small groups Identify which learning activity to examine
in their group; person shares thoughts on checklist criteria and implications for activity
Group provides warm/cold feedback in response to individual’s focus; group brainstorms to enrich the activity respective of the criteria and shares
