Three Top Rated Courses Residential Child Care Worker Managing Aggressive Behavior Behavior Crisis Management Training Three Locations TulsaOklahomaOklahomaCityOklahomaSanDiegoCalifornia Two Kinds of Training: Which is for you? Training of Trainers or Direct? Summarized from the NRC Training Update, 1998 Ongoing training is a critical part of your quality of service. It increases the skills and knowledge of your staff and volunteers, it helps you meet licensing standards, keeps you current with issues and best practice, and increases community accountability. In addition, providing training tells your staff you value what they do. At NRC, training of trainers (TOT) means training delivered to a group of people who will in turn train others. We call that Trainer Certification because we are certifying someone to train a particular curriculum. We can contract to come on-site or you can attend one of the courses we schedule each year. NRC offers Residential Child Care Worker, Managing Aggressive Behavior, and Behavior Crisis Management training as both TOT or direct courses. Direct training means we contract with your organization to deliver training in a particular subject directly to your staff. The subject can be one from a wide variety of established courses or one designed for your group. The answer to which is for you, of course, depends on your needs, goals and current situation. But, whether direct or TOT, to be effective training must be supported by agency philosophy. And philosophy must be backed administratively with policies and procedures and enhanced through supervision. When the whole organization, from the top down, is committed to the training concepts, implementation is usually smooth, and your training dollar has been well spent.

Foster parents come from a wide variety of backgrounds with diverse skills and talents. 2. Foster parents should know how to reduce the risk of escalating behavior, which can lead to aggression and violence. They must know the acceptable options and have the skills to use them. 3. Any program for foster parents must be appropriate and suitable for home use with a broad age range of children and youth. 4. Training must be condensed to cater to foster parent time constraints. 5. Foster parenting brings with it special attachment issues and stressors that need to be addressed. Like its parent program Managing Aggressive Behavior, BCMT begins with the premise that the most effective way to deal with aggressive behavior is to prevent it. With BCMT, you ll be able to help your foster parents understand how crises get started and when and what their foster children view as a crisis. Most important you ll be able to teach unique verbal blending techniques to help them intervene appropriately to calm a situation and de-escalate most situations before they become physical.
