Upcoming Events
ISU Extension and Outreach Professional Development invites you to participate in a Community of Practice. Community of Practice (CoP) is a “group of people who "share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly". As we refresh and dive deeper into our learning of DiSC communication, our workstyles, potential stereotyping, stress, and action planning.
Individuals will learn how to identify, understand, and respond to those who may be experiencing a mental health-related problem or crisis. You will learn what to do, what to say, and how to offer support and resources with confidence. The virtual Mental Health First Aid is a 6-hour course via Zoom offered by trained facilitators and is listed in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices. Participants must complete a 2-hour self-study class prior to attending the 6-hour virtual training. No exceptions. For details, you may visit their site online.
Professional Development offers a series of classes (independent yet related), that help with the process of creating classes, programs, and workshops. The three online classes can be taken independently or sequentially. Join a cohort of learners as you learn about: Writing Clear Learning Objectives; Effective Instructional Design Methods; and Integrating Instructional Activities.
1 in 5 teens and young adults report living with a mental health condition. If you are an adult who interacts with youth (ages 6-18), this 6-hour, virtual course introduces common mental health challenges for youth and reviews typical adolescent development.
Professional Development will be sponsoring a 1-day learning exchange for Extension and Outreach staff and faculty, Understanding Implicit Racial Bias: Rewiring Our Perceptions and Intentions (UIRB), developed by the Iowa Department of Human Services’ (DHS) Adult, Children and Family Services Division.
