NBPCB Continuing Education Training Opportunity
by braille＠nbpcb.org 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Hello, NBPCB is planning on having a training opportunity for Structured Discovery professionals with WEAVE in March. Some of you participated in training with this organization last year dealing with sexual misconduct. This time around, our goal is not to define what misconduct is but rather to help empower instructors to identify potential situations which may put them at real, or potential, risk of being accused of misconduct of all types. As part of this training, we are asking for scenarios that you, yourself, may have experienced or that you may be anxious about. For example, how to work with a student that has been physically assaulted in the past and is not now comfortable with any touch including hand-over-hand instruction and is also uncomfortable traveling in unfamiliar areas. Or you are sitting in your local favorite sports bar on a Saturday night and a current student comes in and sits down next to you at the bar. Or your student thinks that you are retaliating against them because you sent them out in the rain after you have just talked to them for the one-hundredth time about getting to class on time. We do not want to restrict the scenarios to any specific topic because any concerns you have may not fit in a narrowly defined constraint but they deserve to be addressed. We are asking each of you to consider submitting scenarios to be part of our training. Please do not use actual names or details that will identify students or other colleagues. Also, you do not have to disclose if the scenario really happened or if it is hypothetical. Finally, be assured that we will not be sharing the names of anyone who may submit any scenarios with us. Please send your submissions to me at braille at nbpcb.org <mailto:braille at nbpcb.org> before the end of the month. Once the final arrangements are made, we will send out the meeting details to everyone. This specific training will count toward the ethics category for your Structured Discovery recertification and is a direct result of feedback we received from several of you earlier this year. If you have suggestions for future training topics, we would appreciate hearing from you. Best, Maria Morais, Test Coordinator NBPCB Office PO Box 2373 Ruston LA 71273 318 299-7340 <mailto:braille at nbpcb.org> braille at nbpcb.org <http://www.nbpcb.org/> www.nbpcb.org <https://www.nbpcb.org/pages/lookup.php> Click here to verify the status of NBPCB certified professionals
