VVDB has developed and field tested a comprehensive eLearning curriculum to teach Motivational Interviewing Informed Wraparound (MiiWrap). The course includes twenty modules that describe the MiiWrap process and provide an understanding of how the motivational interviewing skills and Mindset guide the staff to better engage and motivate youth and families to achieve their visions through high fidelity MiiWrap. Each module follows a specifically designed learning sequence that helps the learner build real, working knowledge. The specifics vary from module to module, but they all follow a basic pattern:

• We start with an Overview. Learners are given context for how what they are about to learn fits into what they already know. Then they are presented with a video that highlights the most important new concepts and skills. From there, they read the matching textbook pages to take a deep dive into the new material. The overview wraps up with a quiz to check for comprehension.
• Next, we have a Shadowing Activity to let learners see the new skills and processes in action, and give them practice identifying various parts. The shadowing videos, scoring sheets, activity prompts, and/or quizzes are baked right into the system with no further creation required from the coach.
• After that, it is time for learners to practice using their new skills with a Scenario Activity. This helps them develop and refine their skills in a safe place where their coach can provide targeted feedback to improve their proficiency. Our Scenario Activities include behavioral rehearsals, real plays, read and respond scenarios, and documentation scenarios. All the pieces are included in the LMS, and all of it can be done virtually.
• Finally, we have structured Debriefing Process to help learners turn their new knowledge into accessible working knowledge. The debriefing process starts with a few short essay questions for the learner to answer, exposing their thought processes to the coach. The coach then uses our targeted Coach Debriefing Guide to conduct effective and efficient debriefing sessions.

As you can see, all the components of best practice training are incorporated into a free-standing curriculum that can be used for individuals or small groups. No more creating PowerPoints or multi-day trainings, with all of their logistical headaches. No more requiring coaches to spend all their coaching time being trainers. Just a straightforward system that works, with all the extras you’ll need to make everyone successful.
