Peer-to-Peer Learning: Areas of Expertise

Do you learn best by having someone demonstrate or talk through things with you individually? Then this is the place for you! 

Lucky for you, there are many home visitors with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in a variety of the competency domains who are willing to share what they know with you. Maybe you’d like to shadow that person on a home visit and have them demonstrate a skill you want to learn. Or maybe you just want them to answer some questions or help you think through a problem you’ve encountered. You can do that by phone, email or in person – whatever works for the two of you.   

Check out the list of home visitors willing to share their areas of expertise. Find the person(s) who knows what you want to learn about. Email them directly to make arrangements to connect with them. 

If the topic you want to learn about isn’t listed, please email AsaiahFisher@PCADelaware.org and we’ll try to help you make a connection with a home visitor who can help.

If you are a home visitor with an area of expertise in a particular competency domain you are willing to share with fellow home visitors, please email that information to AsaiahFisher@PCADelaware.org and we’ll add you to the list posted here. 

Wrap-Around Training: What is it?

What’s wrap-around training? It’s training that supplements the core training provided to staff on the implementation of a particular program model. The thinking is that there are some general topics that staff in each home visiting, health ambassador, and parent education programs will find useful, and it will be more efficient to deliver training sessions on those topics to everyone at one time. The added bonus – you get to meet and learn from other professionals who are doing the same kind of work you are! Together you can reflect on your work and support each other as you enhance your expertise.
