IN BRIEF
Educating adult learners
entails selecting the proper
tools to train them with and
integrating them into the
learning process.
Integrated training is
achieved by including
employees throughout the
process, from develop-
ment though validation and
feedback.
Adult learners do not want to be taught. They want to play a part and need to per-ceive training as something that will im-
prove them as individuals. “Adult learners like to
be in control of their training or at least play a role
in it” (Dalto, 2015). They not only seek training in
areas that are relevant to them, but find further
motivation to learn and feel a greater sense of ac-
complishment when they are involved in identify-
ing training needs.
A wide range of training modalities can be used,
including in-person classroom sessions, virtual live
sessions and self-paced e-learning. Many organi-
zations embrace e-learning tools because of their
ease of deployment, lower costs and increased
learner convenience. “E-learning can be
defined as the use of computer network
technology, primarily over an intranet
or through the Internet, to deliver in-
formation and instruction to individuals
(in our case, employees)” (Welsh, Wan-
berg, Brown, et al., 2003).
Simulation-based training has been a
staple in industries such as aviation and
nuclear energy (Jha, Duncan & Bates,
2001). Virtual-reality (VR)-based sys-
tems are also becoming more common.
“VR has been recognized as having rel-
evance for training in a wide range of in-
dustries including construction, medical
and space exploration” (Squelch, 2001).
While all these systems are successful in some
ways, the literature does not definitively indicate
which training modality is best. That said, Burke
and colleagues identify one factor that has a direct
and positive impact on knowledge retention: en-
gaging the employee in the training (Burke, Sarpy,
Smith-Crowe, et al., 2006). “Our findings indicate
that the most engaging methods of safety training
are, on average, three times more effective than the
least engaging methods in promoting knowledge
and skill acquisition” (Burke, et al., 2006). Educat-
ing adult learners entails selecting the proper tools
and integrating employees themselves into the
learning process.
Needs Assessment, Delivery & Validation
OSH trainers must continuously adapt training
content and training delivery. Doing so effectively
involves a three-step process (Table 1, p. 24)..
Learning transfer in leadership programs.docxSara239500
Understand the importance of leadership development initiatives in corporate environments. It is not enough to evaluate our programs using formative and summative evaluations or implementing the Kirkpatrick evaluation model to gain insights into how participants implement the knowledge or skills after training. We must understand how to design a program that has elements that will promote transfer before, during, and after the program. This paper will examine the impact of learning transfer and the models used to understand better how to achieve this. Afterward, a deep dive will be done into the relationship between learning transfer and leadership development and what elements can be incorporated before, during, and after the programs that can impact transfer.
Using Socrative to Enhance In-Class Student Engagement and Collaboration IJITE
Learning and teaching experiment was designed to incorporate SRS-Student Response System to measure and assess student engagement in higher education for level 5 engineering students. The SRS system was based on getting an immediate student feedback to short quizzes lasting 10 to 15 minutes using Socrative software. The structure of the questions was a blend of true/false, multiple choice and short answer questions. The experiment was conducted through semester 2 of yearlong engineering module. The outcome of the experiment was analyzed quantitatively based on student performance and qualitatively through student questionnaire. The results indicate that using student paced assessments method using Socrative enhanced student’s performance. The results showed that 53% of the students improved their performance while 23% neither improved nor underperformed. Qualitative data showed students felt improvement in their learning experience.

In previous weeks, you learned how to conduct an effective training needs assessment and initial steps of designing training, especially designing outcome-oriented learning objectives that become the road map for the next phases of training. You read the Domtar case and how Raymond Royer, the CEO, took initiative to develop employees; how he focused on developing strategic direction and specific goals that focused on (a) return on investment and (b) customer service. You also learned about appropriate training methods selection in the design and development phases.
The delivery methods and implementation of training are critical for the success of training in terms of employees’ engagement and motivation to learn. It is important to understand individuals’ learning styles to decide what methods are appropriate for a particular group of learners. To be more effective, training should include multiple training methods (e.g. lectures, brain storming, group work, discussions, role play, case analysis, simulations and games) and activities to motivate learners who have different types of learning styles, preferences, learning goals and personal expectations. Learner engagement is the key to learning. There are various methods you can use to engage and motivate learners for better results, such as role play, discussion, on-the-job training, simulation, self-directed learning, business games, case studies, team work, behavior modeling, etc.
Styles of Learning
People have different styles of learning. These learning styles help them to acquire new information and knowledge. There are many different learning styles but for simplicity they can be broken down into four major categories.

- Knowled.
Training is any planned activity to transfer or modify knowledge, skills, and attitudes through learning experiences. Personnel may require training for a variety of reasons, including the need to maintain levels of competence and respond to the demands of changing circumstances and new approaches and technologies. Training by itself cannot solve structural, organizational, or policy problems within an organization, although supportive supervision and the use of motivational strategies can help sustain performance improvement derived from training (www.who.int/medicinedocs/documents).
Conventional 'training' is required to cover essential work-related skills, techniques and knowledge, and much of this section deals with taking a positive progressive approach to this sort of traditional 'training'. Importantly however, the most effective way to develop people is quite different from conventional skills training, which let's face it many employees regard quite negatively. They'll do it of course, but they won't enjoy it much because it's about work, not about themselves as people. The most effective way to develop people is instead to enable learning and personal development, with all that this implies (www.businessballs.com).

Portfolio Proposal
ECE657: Assessment to Support Young Children and Families
Annette Williams
Instructor Strout
December 16, 2019
Portfolio Proposal
The performance of children in the learning environment is an important component of facilitating positive academic development. Therefore, it is important to consider a portfolio that looks into robust communication regarding the gaps associated with the learning environment. Students should have a capacity to identify their strengths in terms of learning new skills and knowledge. With the above in place, it would be crucial to communicate about the pros and cons of the teaching practice, the fitting portfolio system, and the chosen portfolio system. Also, it becomes crucial to focus on the portfolio system that would encompass growth in the developmental domains. Lastly, it is important to record how it would be possible to ensure fidelity in the portfolio system.
The teaching strategies Gold and Lifecubby portfolio system are an important component of the learning environment. The main reason for this is because it provides the student with the needed skills and knowledge to ensure effective performance. It is an important segment because it enables teachers to remain motivated and dedicated to teaching the students to become independent thinkers in their professional environment. Early education is critical and requires a teacher who is more patient and flexible in delivering the needed knowledge. A teacher who does not take the time to handle the students may become frustrated.
Therefore, the teaching strategies are crucial in the establishment of effective relationships with the students. It is through the above that it becomes easier for the teachers to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of their students. Also, they try their best to promote positive outcomes in terms of communicating the right ideas among the students in the learning environment. The learning environment provided by the teaching strategies is more diverse and has a large opportunity base to support the growth and development of the student (Becker, R et al., 2015). The environment is also structured in a way that the teaching strategies meet the needs of the teachers.
When it comes to the cons, it is important to note that they are limited. The teaching strategies may not be too flexible to allow the adoption of educational technology. The teaching strategies are more traditional and include one-to-one communication with the students. Another significant con focuses on the rigidity of the teaching practices. The teacher is the person with all the major responsibilities and does not provide the student with the opportunity to ensure personal development. The ...

Portfolio Proposal
The performance of children in the learning environment is an important component of facilitating positive academic development. Therefore, it is important to consider a portfolio that looks into robust communication regarding the gaps associated with the learning environment. Students should have a capacity to identify their strengths in terms of learning new skills and knowledge. With the above in place, it would be crucial to communicate about the pros and cons of the teaching practice, the fitting portfolio system, and the chosen portfolio system. Also, it becomes crucial to focus on the portfolio system that would encompass growth in the developmental domains. Lastly, it is important to record how it would be possible to ensure fidelity in the portfolio system.
The teaching strategies Gold and Lifecubby portfolio system are an important component of the learning environment. The main reason for this is because it provides the student with the needed skills and knowledge to ensure effective performance. It is an important segment because it enables teachers to remain motivated and dedicated to teaching the students to become independent thinkers in their professional environment. Early education is critical and requires a teacher who is more patient and flexible in delivering the needed knowledge. A teacher who does not take the time to handle the students may become frustrated.
Therefore, the teaching strategies are crucial in the establishment of effective relationships with the students. It is through the above that it becomes easier for the teachers to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of their students. Also, they try their best to promote positive outcomes in terms of communicating the right ideas among the students in the learning environment. The learning environment provided by the teaching strategies is more diverse and has a large opportunity base to support the growth and development of the student (Becker, R et al., 2015). The environment is also structured in a way that the teaching strategies meet the needs of the teachers.
When it comes to the cons, it is important to note that they are limited. The teaching strategies may not be too flexible to allow the adoption of educational technology. The teaching strategies are more traditional and include one-to-one communication with the students. Another significant con focuses on the rigidity of the teaching practices. The teacher is the person with all the major responsibilities and does not provide the student with the opportunity to ensure personal development. The ...

After reading the
Cybersecurity Act of 2015
, address the private/public partnership with the DHS National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), arguably the most important aspect of the act. The Cybersecurity Act of 2015 allows for private and public sharing of cybersecurity threat information.
What should the DHS NCCIC (public) share with private sector organizations? What type of threat information would enable private organizations to better secure their networks?
On the flip side, what should private organizations share with the NCCIC? As it is written, private organization sharing is completely voluntary. Should this be mandatory? If so, what are the implications to the customers' private data?
The government is not allowed to collect data on citizens. How should the act be updated to make it better and more value-added for the public-private partnership in regards to cybersecurity?

Children have always contributed to the total number of migrants crossing the southern border of the United States illegally, but in 2014, a steady overall increase in unaccompanied minors from Central America reached crisis proportions when tens of thousands of children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras crossed the Rio Grande and overwhelmed border patrols and local infrastructure (Dart 2014).
Since legislators passed the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 in the last days of the Bush administration, unaccompanied minors from countries that do not share a border with the United States are guaranteed a hearing with an immigration judge where they may request asylum based on a “credible” fear of persecution or torture (U.S. Congress 2008). In some cases, these children are looking for relatives and can be placed with family while awaiting a hearing on their immigration status; in other cases, they are held in processing centers until the Department of Health and Human Services makes other arrangements (Popescu 2014).
The 2014 surge placed such a strain on state resources that Texas began transferring the children to Immigration and Naturalization facilities in California and elsewhere, without incident for the most part. On July 1, 2014, however, buses carrying the migrant children were blocked by protesters in Murrietta, California, who chanted, "Go home" and "We don’t want you.” (Fox News and Associated Press 2014; Reyes 2014).
A functional perspective theorist might focus on the dysfunctions caused by the sudden influx of underage asylum seekers, while a conflict perspective theorist might look at the way social stratification influences how the members of a developed country are treating the lower-status migrants from less-developed countries in Latin America. An interactionist theorist might see the significance in the attitude of the Murrietta protesters toward the migrant children.
Respond to the following questions in a 350-word essay using 12 point times new roman font double spaced: Given the fact that these children are fleeing various kinds of violence and extreme poverty, how should the U.S. government respond? Should the government pass laws granting a general amnesty? Or should it follow a zero-tolerance policy, automatically returning any and all unaccompanied minor migrants to their countries of origin so as to discourage additional immigration tha.

COMMUNICATION CLOSE-UP AT
Kaiser Permanente
kp.org (http://kp.org)
Delivering quality health care is dif�icult enough, given the complexities of technology, government regulations, evolving scienti�ic and medical understanding, and
the variability of human performance. It gets even more daunting when you add the challenges of communication among medical staff and between patients and
their caregivers, which often takes place under stressful circumstances. Those communication efforts are challenging enough in an environment where everyone
speaks the same language and feels at home in a single cultural context—but they’re in�initely more complex in the United States, whose residents identify with
dozens of different cultures and speak several hundred languages.
The Oakland-based health-care system Kaiser Permanente has been embracing the challenges and opportunities of diversity since its founding in 1945. It made a
strong statement with its very �irst hospital when it refused to follow the then-common practice of segregating patients by race. Now, as the largest not-for-pro�it
health system in the United States, Kaiser’s client base includes more than 10 million members from over 100 distinct cultures.
At the core of Kaiser’s approach is culturally competent care, which it de�ines as “health care that acknowledges cultural diversity in the clinical setting, respects
members’ beliefs and practices, and ensures that cultural needs are considered and respected at every point of contact.” These priorities.

Background
The research focuses on investigating leaders from highly rated managed care organizations based on their leadership practices in comparison to leaders from low rated managed care organizations. High rated organizations are managed care organizations who have attained either 4.5 or 5 Medicare Stars ratings whiles low ratings organizations are organizations who have attained 3 Stars or less.
The research design: Survey was sent to leaders from both high Medicare rated and low rated organizations. I believe I have enough sample size so the result will be significant. I have received 35 response from leaders from high rated organizations and 35 from low rated organizations (35 participants each responded, making 70 participants in total). The goal is to find out if there is a significant difference in leadership practice between leaders from highly rated organizations and low rated organizations.
The survey tool used is Leadership Practice Inventory (LPI), which has a total of 30 behavioral statements that reflect on the practices leaders regularly use in managing their organizations. The leaders were invited to complete the survey online. The 30 survey questions are grouped in 5 Models:
1. Model the Way
1. Inspire a Shared Vision
1. Challenge the Process
1. Enable Others to Act
1. Encourage the Heart
The participants completed the LPI self-test, where they must rate themselves depending on the frequency, which they believe in engaging in each of the five models. They rate themselves on a 10 point likert scale, below.
1-Almost Never
3-Seldom
5-Occasionally
7-Fairly Often
9-Very Frequently
2-Rarely
4-Once in a While
6-Sometimes
8-Usually
10-Almost always
1. Dependent Variable: Attaining high Overall Medicare Star Rating
1. Independent Variables:
1. Leadership practice Practices (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart)
1. Years of Experience
1. Leadership Style
Abbreviations meaning:
LP- Leadership Practice
MSR – Medicare Stars Ratings
MSROs – Medicare Stars Ratings Organizations
YoE – Years of Experience
The following hypotheses has been tested, analyzed (page 4-23). SPSS software was used for data analysis.
Hypothesis 1 - There is a significant difference in LP between leaders from high (4.5 or 5) MSROs and low (3 Stars or less) MSROs.
Hypothesis 2 – There is a strong relationship between MSRs and the LP of both high and low MSROs
Hypothesis 3 - In comparison to other 4 models (thus Model the Way, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, Encourage the Hearts), practicing the “Inspire A Shared Vision” model is very significant in helping leaders influence the attainment of high MSR in MCOs.
Hypothesis 4 – The leaders’ leadership style contributes to a leader’s ability to influence the achievement of high Medicare ratings for MCO.
Hypothesis 5 – The Leaders’ of Years of Experience (YoE) is effective in enabling leaders influence the attainment o.

Interest Paper- Mental Health in Student Athletes
I am a communication major so must take this class to fulfill my requirements for the course, however, this class will set me up to understand the in-depth reasoning behind communication. The only rhetoric class I have taken in the past is rhetoric in English, not communication; I learnt about Plato, Socrates and all the pervious rhetors that formed the basis on how we communicate today. You could argue that learning it in English and now in communication it could be very similar or the same, but we aren’t focusing on what they wrote or spoke of but why and how. In this paper I chose to analyze a TedX talk from a student athlete Victoria Garrick called ‘Athletes and mental Health: The hidden opponent’, it discusses the challenges that she faced with mental health, and the struggles maintaining a top sport on a colligate team. The reasons behind this are based on the broad ideas and opinions people have on student athletes and mental health separately and together.
College athletics is a huge industry, an incredible achievement to get into a division 1 college on an athletic scholarship, but behind all this there are some dark truths. The TedX talk from Victoria Garrick explains these truths from an athlete’s perspective, this is conflicting to the ideas that an average student or outsider has, it explains what is happening behind closed doors. This artifact was gripping to me, it is something that I completely relate too; the artifact itself is a more personal approach to understand what is happening in regard to mental health in student athletes than just reading an article online. To me personally it is easier to find an artifact that I can easily relate too, something that is grossly underappreciated and classed as embarrassing, such a topic as mental health. There were no obstacles in retrieving artifacts for this interest, it is such a broad area that I am interested in finding more information about. There are artifacts everywhere about topics such as this, articles, speeches, documentaries, all gripping a relatable.
In this class I am aware that I have much to learn, understand the way in which we communicate and why, the best ways to communicate, and the best evidence and artifacts to find for a specific topic. Finding an artifact for a topic that you are deeply invested in is different than having to find one that your heart isn’t in. With regards to this paper I am already thinking about ideas of where I can focus my information on next, where can I understand different political views behind this topic? What are the families of these student athletes going through? Mental health and student athletes separately. With regards to this class I would like to be able to find these sources and write about them in a way that grips a reader and helps me understand the reasoning behind such communication methods.

From On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life, by Friedrich Nietzsche (1874)
Section 1:
CONSIDER the herds that are feeding yonder: they know not the meaning of yesterday or to-day; they graze and ruminate, move or rest, from morning to night, from day to day, taken up with their little loves and hates, at the mercy of the moment, feeling neither melancholy nor satiety. Man cannot see them without regret, for even in the pride of his humanity he looks enviously on the beast's happiness. He wishes simply to live without satiety or pain, like the beast; yet it is all in vain, for he will not change places with it. He may ask the beast—"Why do you look at me and not speak to me of your happiness?" The beast wants to answer—"Because I always forget what I wished to say": but he forgets this answer too, and is silent; and the man is left to wonder.
He wonders also about himself, that he cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he run, that chain runs with him. It is matter for wonder: the moment, that is here and gone, that was nothing before and nothing after, returns like a spectre to trouble the quiet of a later moment. A leaf is continually dropping out of the volume of time and fluttering away and suddenly it flutters back into the man's lap. Then he says, "I remember . . . ," and envies the beast, that forgets at once, and sees every moment really die, sink into night and mist, extinguished for ever. The beast lives unhistorically; for it "goes into" the present, like a number, without leaving any curious remainder. It cannot dissimulate, it conceals nothing; at every moment it seems what it actually is, and thus can be nothing that is not honest. But man is always resisting the great and continually increasing weight of the past; it presses him down, and bows his shoulders; he travels with a dark invisible burden that he can plausibly disown, and is only too glad to disown in converse with his fellows—in order to excite their envy. And so it hurts him, like the thought of a lost Paradise, to see a herd grazing, or, nearer still, a child, that has nothing yet of the past to disown, and plays in a happy blindness between the walls of the past and the future. And yet its play must be disturbed, and only too soon will it be summoned from its little kingdom of oblivion. Then it learns to understand the words "once upon a time," the "open sesame" that lets in battle, suffering and weariness on mankind, and reminds them what their existence really is, an imperfect tense that never becomes a present. And when death brings at last the desired forgetfulness, it abolishes life and being together, and sets the seal on the knowledge that "being" is merely a continual "has been," a thing that lives by denying and destroying and contradicting itself.
If happiness and the chase for new happiness keep alive in any sense the will to live, no philosophy has perhaps more truth than the cynic's: for the beast's happine.

1. Introduction
The purpose of this article is to examine the com-
ponents of a research article and provide guidelines
for conducting critical analyses of published works.
Distilled from the American Psychological Associa-
tion’s [1] Publication Manual and related descriptions
in several research design texts [4,8,9,12,15], descrip-
tions of how authors in rehabilitation and disability
studies address each section of a research article are
featured. The article concludes with a framework that
rehabilitation educators, graduate students, practition-
ers, and other Work readers can use in critiquing re-
search articles on the basis of their scientific merits and
practical utility.

2. Anatomy of a research article
For nearly 50 years, the American Psychological As-
sociation has presented guidelines for authors to follow
in composing manuscripts for publication in profes-
sional journals [1]. Most journals in disability studies
and rehabilitation adhere to those style and formatting
guidelines. In the paragraphs to follow, descriptions
of each section of a standard research article are pre-
sented: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results,
Discussion, and References.
2.1. Title
As with other kinds of literature, the title of a scien-
tific or scholarly journal article is a very important fea-
ture. At the risk of contravening the age-old adage “You
can’t judge a book by its cover,” Bellini and Rumrill [4]
speculated that most articles in rehabilitation journals
are either read or not read based upon the prospective
reader’s perusal of the title. Therefore, developing a
clear, concise title that conveys the article’s key con-
cepts, hypotheses, methods, and variables under study
is critical for researchers wishing to share their findings
with a large, professional audience. A standard-length
title for a journal article in the social sciences is 12–15
words, including a sub-title if appropriate. Because so-
cial science and medical indexing systems rely hea.

CHAPTER 4: THE CARBON FOOTPRINT CONTROVERSY
What is the carbon footprint controversy?
Nearly all humans consume meat, dairy, and egg products in some form. In recent years the
e i me al m eme ha ed he ece i f ed ci g e ca b f i . Ca e
reduce our footprint without changing our diet? Much controversy surrounds that question. One
very extreme view on the political-left is below.
But when it comes to bad for the environment, nothing literally compares with eating meat. The business of raising
animals for food causes about 40 percent more global warming than all cars, trucks, and planes combined. If you care
about the planet, it's actually better to eat a salad in a Hummer than a cheeseburger in a Prius.
Bill Maher, host of HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher, writing in the Huffington Post in 2009. Accessed April 25,
2013 at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-maher/new-rule-a-hole-in-one-sh_b_259281.html.
The last decade has seen a movement advocating a vegan diet in order to reduce carbon emissions,
and in some respects the argument is logical. After all, it takes about 3.388 lbs of corn (and many
other inputs) to produce a single pound of retail beef, making meat seem relatively inefficient to
grains, thus leading to a larger carbon footprint.134 So common is this notion that some schools
e c age Mea le M da for the sake of the environment. The Meatless Monday movement
has even been adopted by the Norwegian military.135 Moreover, there is some scientific research
showing that vegan (and vegetarian) diets do result in a smaller carbon footprint.136
When dealing with issues as big as global warming i ea feel hel le , like he e li le e ca d make a

resolution is important. Together we can better our health, the animals and the environment, one plate at a time.
Los Angeles Councilmember Ed Reyes, co-author of a Meatless Monday resolution in 2012.137
However, equally prestigious research shows that vegan diets can result in a higher carbon
footprint.138 How can this be? One reason is that some carbon footprint estimates are wrong, or
rather, interpreted incorrectly. The idea of livestock production being a large carbon emitter began
with a report by the United Nations (UN) suggesting that livestock contributes 18% f he ld
carbon footprint, more than the transportation sector,139 thus giving Bill Maher reason to point the
blame at burgers instead of Hummers.
It turns out that this 18% is fraught with errors, a lea , d e e e e c di i i he U.S.
For instance, the UN did not account for the carbon emissions involved in making the inputs used
in the transportation sector, but they did for livestock. This would be like saying the production of
tires has zero carbon emissions but the production of corn does. Also, that 18% makes a number of
contestable assumptions, especially regardi.

Megaregion Planning
and High-Speed Rail
Petra Todorovich
c h a p t e r 2 4
?
On April 16, 2009, President Obama stood before an audience at the Eisenhower
Executive Office Building and made an announcement that signaled a new era of
passenger rail in the United States. Months before, the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) had provided $8 billion for a new program at the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to issue competitive grants to states to
make capital investments in high-speed and conventional passenger rail. Little did
the president know that providing the single largest boost for intercity rail plan-
ning in this country in a generation had also motivated a sudden and giant leap for-
ward in planning and governing megaregions. Luckily, regional planners had been
studying emerging megaregions for the previous five years, in affiliation with the
New York–based Regional Plan Association’s (RPA) America 2050 program. Again
and again, the planners had identified high-speed rail as the key transportation
investment to serve megaregion economies. But high-speed rail was a distant
dream. That all changed with the passage of ARRA at the nadir of the Great
Recession. Now a federal program exists to support high-speed rail planning
and implementation. Making that program a success will largely depend on the
ability of multiple actors at the local, regional, state, and binational levels to come
together as megaregions to coordinate and leverage federal rail investments.
Revisiting Megalopolis: RPA Resurrects
the Megaregion Idea
As if planning for the Tri-State New York metropolitan region was not sufficiently
complicated, in 2005 the Regional Plan Association launched a national program
called America 2050 that focused on the emergence of a new urban scale: the
megaregion. This was not actually a new concept for RPA. In 1967 a volume of the
Second Regional Plan documented the emergence of “The Atlantic Urban Region,”
an urban chain stretching 460 miles from Maine to Virginia (Regional Plan

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

IN BRIEF
Educating adult learners
entails selecting the proper
tools to train them with and
integrating them into the
learning process.
Integrated training is
achieved by including
employees throughout the
process, from develop-
ment though validation and
feedback.
Adult learners do not want to be taught. They want to play a
part and need to per-ceive training as something that will im-
prove them as individuals. “Adult learners like to
2. be in control of their training or at least play a role
in it” (Dalto, 2015). They not only seek training in
areas that are relevant to them, but find further
motivation to learn and feel a greater sense of ac-
complishment when they are involved in identify-
ing training needs.
A wide range of training modalities can be used,
including in-person classroom sessions, virtual live
sessions and self-paced e-learning. Many organi-
zations embrace e-learning tools because of their
ease of deployment, lower costs and increased
learner convenience. “E-learning can be
defined as the use of computer network
technology, primarily over an intranet
or through the Internet, to deliver in-
formation and instruction to individuals
(in our case, employees)” (Welsh, Wan-
berg, Brown, et al., 2003).
Simulation-based training has been a
staple in industries such as aviation and
nuclear energy (Jha, Duncan & Bates,
2001). Virtual-reality (VR)-based sys-
tems are also becoming more common.
“VR has been recognized as having rel-
evance for training in a wide range of in-
dustries including construction, medical
and space exploration” (Squelch, 2001).
While all these systems are successful in some
ways, the literature does not definitively indicate
which training modality is best. That said, Burke
and colleagues identify one factor that has a direct
and positive impact on knowledge retention: en-
3. gaging the employee in the training (Burke, Sarpy,
Smith-Crowe, et al., 2006). “Our findings indicate
that the most engaging methods of safety training
are, on average, three times more effective than the
least engaging methods in promoting knowledge
and skill acquisition” (Burke, et al., 2006). Educat-
ing adult learners entails selecting the proper tools
and integrating employees themselves into the
learning process.
Needs Assessment, Delivery & Validation
OSH trainers must continuously adapt training
content and training delivery. Doing so effectively
involves a three-step process (Table 1, p. 24). The
first step is to conduct a needs assessment. Train-
ing needs include codified requirements and the
perceived training needs of employees. By engag-
ing employees in the needs assessment, training
becomes more precise. Doing so also helps an or-
ganization select a delivery system that best meets
employees’ learning needs.
The second step is to select a proper delivery
style. For adult learners, this is critical. By choos-
ing the proper tool to engage workers, employers
help them stay more focused on training, which
increases memory retention. Additionally, incor-
porating site-specific visuals into training materi-
als helps employees develop a clear idea of what is
expected of them.
As Flum, Siqueira, DeCaro, et al. (2010), explain,
“The process of taking pictures and presenting them
creates an ongoing discussion among workers and
4. management regarding the need for change and
for process improvements, and results in greater
interest and activity regarding occupational health
among workers.” Such a process engages people
and generates dialogue among all employees, which
ultimately leads to better training content.
The final step involves two measures: 1) content
retention as assessed using a short quiz or visual
performance review; and 2) a feedback loop that
provides management with a measure of train-
ing effectiveness. The quiz is based on key train-
ing goals, not simply an overview of concepts.
The feedback loop involves watching employees
perform tasks related to training to assess reten-
tion. Data from these measures reveal remaining
knowledge gaps and help management identify
where improvements in training, delivery style or
content, are needed. Employers must also assess
whether workers believed the training was effec-
tive. By integrating worker feedback into training
design, training continually grows and improves.
Key Factors of the Adult Learner

derstand why the training is important to them

and how completing it will increase their abilities.
As Dalto (2015) explains, “Adult learners want
training to be relevant to their daily lives and to
be focused on completing specific tasks.” It is also
important to clearly communicate purpose. “If a
health and safety program’s purpose is unclear or
appears to benefit the company only, many work-
ers will not take the subject matter seriously. The
audience must understand how the training direct-
ly relates to their daily personal lives” (Potts, 2016).
To close this gap, the delivery system must be
concise and state definitively what the training will
do for workers as individuals. By asking employees
during training development what they wish they
had been taught when they started, training ma-
terials grow to meet the demands of longer-term
workers as well as younger workers who may have
less-developed competencies. The term employee-
driven content is used to define this functional need.
In general terms, adult learners are self-direct-
ed; have years of experience and training; are goal
oriented; learn better when properly motivated;
and want to feel respected. They do not want to
sit in a room and merely listen. “Most programs
are developed based on the naive assumption that
safety knowledge can easily be transferred through
conventional classroom instructional methods”
(Albert & Hallowel, 2013). Adult learners want to
be engaged, feel as though their time is being used
wisely and believe the material is valuable to their
6. skill set.
Adult learners want to engage with an instructor
who can answer their questions and be engaged by
this instructor in a learner-centric dynamic (Albert
& Hallowel, 2013). Adult learners prefer to be edu-
cated by a topic expert, but also want to be trusted
to read and learn on their own.
While online training systems are available,
these systems are prepackaged and not generally
tailored to a specific work environment. When a
worker cannot associate the material presented
with his/her own work environment or lacks a
sense of engagement in the material, the course
loses value. “If sufficient attention is not given to
implementation, e-learning will not be successful”
(Welsh, et al., 2003). Some online training can be
modified and adapted to an employer’s workplace.
This helps bridge the gap with prepackaged train-
ing but it can add cost, hinder annual updating and
increase release time. MA

Bringing It All Together
Employee-Driven Content
Feedback from adult workers often centers
around why they need to know what is being cov-
ered in training. If this initial mental hurdle is not
overcome, any training that follows may be ineffec-
tive. An excellent way to address this concern is to
integrate the learner into the training development
process. By discussing training needs with employ-
ee representatives during the needs assessment, an
organization can develop training content that is
more precise and site-specific. Stating clearly how
training will affect employees with buy in from su-
pervisors will further enhance the perceived value
of the training.
In many cases, employees are assigned read-
ing materials or asked to complete online train-
ing. While Welsh, et al. (2003), agree this can be
an easier approach, employers must be careful to
design it to engage students. Often, adult learners
respond negatively to an hour’s worth of slides
on a screen or online training delivered by a ma-
chine. By providing training materials that clearly
identify the expected outcomes and explain the
importance of those outcomes to the individual,
training transforms into a tool for self-advance-
ment rather than simply a company requirement.
It also helps to train employees in small, similar
groups and provide materials for further review,
as this review allows employees to discuss and
review information on their
9. own time (Figure 1). This
gives the employee a sense
of freedom in education and
promotes self value.
Employee Engagement
Learners generally retain
10% of what is read, 20% of
what is heard, 30% of what
is seen, 50% of material from
group discussion, 75% of what
is learned through practice
and 90% of what they say and
do (Booth, 2007). Therefore,
a trainer should keep train-
ing materials to a few, concise
pages to maintain focus on
critical details. While the his-
tory of lockout/tagout may interest a scholar, it of-
fers little value to employees.
As noted, integrating site photos into training
materials adds value in the form of visible stim-
uli (Flum, et al., 2010). Seeing a lockout tag in a
presentation slide adds less value than seeing a
lock and tag being properly affixed on a piece of
equipment employees encounter each day (Figure
2). Incorporating photos gathered during inspec-
tions also enhances training because such photos
depict actual risks that employees may encounter
in their workplace. This strengthens an employee’s
retention and understanding because it helps the
employee make associations between training and
his/her job.
10. Open Delivery
Workers should be part of the process for sched-
uling training and planning retraining. As Dalto
(2015) explains, “By consulting with your employ-
ees, you can create a training schedule that best fits
their needs.” Often, employers schedule a weeks’
worth of training to occur once a year. This requires
all employees to attend training at one time, which
increases costs. Performing short, monthly single
topic training sessions allows employees time to
reflect on each topic. This approach also keeps
safety in the forefront year round.
Integrated Training & Validation
Integrated training is achieved by including em-
ployees throughout the process, from development
through validation and feedback. By bringing em-
ployees into the development cycle, they become
part of the solution. By engaging employees in the
training cycle, they feel part of the educational pro-
cess. Integrating the training perspective of the af-
fected employees/supervisors strengthens training
effectiveness. Integrated training validation refers
to the process of asking employees directly wheth-
er they learned or developed better proficiency
through the training and whether the training de-
livered value. By listening to employees’ perspec-
tives on the effectiveness of training, a trainer can
continuously improve the training process.

Conclusion
OSH professionals have access to many train-
ing tools and resources. However, the most valu-
able tool are the employees who bring with them
hands-on experience and a desire to learn. As Ben-
jamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget. Teach
me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” To-
day’s OSH trainers must involve their adult em-
ployees to improve their learning. PS
