From Knowing to Doing: Unleashing the Power of Role Play
Learning has not taken place until behavior has changed. It’s not what you know, but what you do with what you know that counts. That’s why skill practice is so important in training sessions if we want people to do things differently. (Pike, 2002 p.6)
When executed properly, the use of role play in the ongoing training of the EDHI workforce can be an energizing and versatile tool that results in powerful outcomes for the retention and application of best practices in Early Intervention services.
Assuming roles and simulating exchanges assists in transforming knowledge into skills in any one of a number of real-life scenarios: training screeners to communicate a sense of urgency to parents after a “refer” result before leaving the hospital, preparing for a “crucial conversation” with UNHS stakeholders, leading an effective team meeting, or creating engaging professional learning opportunities for early interventionists.
This high impact presentation will outline 6 essential steps for planning and implementing effective role play activities. This comprehensive learning activity will comprise three component parts: first, participants will build knowledge by viewing video examples of each of the elements of role play as essential steps are shared. Second, attendees will observe and debrief one “live” role play activity in which steps from “Defining Objectives” to “Concluding Discussion” will be systematically elaborated upon. Finally, in small job-alike groups, participants will have the opportunity to apply new information about role play in the design of an authentic activity that would assist in fully engaging their “learners” back in the home workplace. In so doing, they will increase the possibility of having more successful strategic conversations and providing higher impact professional training so that the ultimate goal of improving opportunities for young children with hearing loss and their families have a greater chance of becoming a reality.
