New Training Resources Available for You!
The KTER Center announces two new training resources. The first is a revised and updated version of the online training module, "Introduction to Knowledge Translation Concepts." The second is the new, 2013 version of the online workshop, "Barriers and Supports for Research Use."
- Introduction to KT Concepts
This online module provides an overview and identifies some important concepts about Knowledge Translation, shares definitions from multiple sources, and identifies models highlighting the Knowledge to Action Model (Graham et al. 2006). Important features in planning for KT from an Employment Research perspective are presented, using the framework of the revised KT Planning Template (Barwick, 2013). The module also identifies some important resources for follow up.
- Barriers and Supports for Research Use (2013)
Coming Soon! Sessions were recorded at the in-person workshop, Barriers and Supports for Research Use, held in April 2013. Audio files and transcripts will soon be available as an updated online workshop! KTER staff presented initial results from a survey of vocational rehabilitation counselors regarding their use of research, and VR agency representatives responded to these findings and discussed the use of research in their work. They included: Dr. Joseph Ashley, Assistant Commissioner for Grants and Special Programs at the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS); Ms. Elizabeth Smith, Director of the Policy and Planning Division for Virginia DARS; and Mr. Stephen Wooderson, CEO of the Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation (CSAVR). We are requesting pre-approval from CRCC for CRC-CEUs for the new online workshop.
