Workshop with Guy Bruce
This workshop is in English with simultaneous Italian translation.
Do you work as a program designer, staff trainer, supervisor, or director of an agency that provides educational services to clients with learning difficulties? Are you satisfied with your clients’ progress?
Behavior analysis developed a powerful technology for helping people, but too many clients don’t receive the benefits. Why not?
The easy answer is that employees don’t do what they are told. But the employees’ performance, just like their clients’ performance, is a product of their environment.
Do employees have the resources, training, and management necessary to help their clients achieve their goals? What about their supervisors and their staff trainers? What about their directors? Organizations are groups of individuals who must work together to provide their clients with the outcomes they want.
The failure of clients to make adequate progress is not usually an individual employee performance problem, but a performance problem at the system process, and individual levels of the organization.
This workshop will teach you how to design and implement an ethical, pragmatic, organizational performance engineering process to change how providers work together, so that every client makes efficient progress.
The EARS process has the following steps: 1) Evaluate client progress; 2) Analyze causes of provider performance problems; 3) Recommend changes in provider resources, training, and management; and 4) Solve provider performance problems by designing and implementing recommended changes in provider resources, training, and management.
- Label examples of ethical and unethical behavior change goals and methods.
- Label examples of pragmatic and dogmatic approaches to behavior change
- Distinguish between the goals of scientists, engineers and technicians.
- Describe the provider-recipient relationships needed to ensure efficient client progress.
- Evaluate client products, performance, and progress using frequent, accurate, sensitive measures.
- Analyze causes of provider performance problems using direct measures to identify can-do problems due to inadequate resources, know-how problems due to inadequate training, and want-to problems due to inadequate management.
- Recommend changes in provider resources, training, and management based on the analysis of provider performance problems.
- Solve provider performance problems by designing and implementing changes in provider a) resources, b) training, and c) management.
- Plan your own EARS project at your center, tutoring service, or school.
My workshops are highly interactive and practice intensive. I will also provide a beta-test version of a web-mobile application that makes it easy to evaluate client, parent, and provider products, performance and progress with some guidance on how to use that tool to design and implement the EARS process to change how providers work together so that every client makes efficient progress.
Guy Bruce: Since earning his Ed. D. in Educational Psychology from the Behavior Analysis in Human Resources program at West Virginia University, Dr. Bruce has taught behavior analysis in both undergraduate and graduate programs and consulted with variety of organizations, including BellSouth, Crystal River Nuclear Power, Delta Faucet, Dearborn Financial, Mayo Hospital, and Waddell & Reid Financial Services.
He is the author of Instructional Design Made Easy, a workbook for designing more efficient staff training programs and Organizational Performance Engineering for Provider, Parent, and Client Success, which tells the story of how he designed and implemented an organizational performance engineering process to change how preschool staff worked together so that every client could be successful.
In addition to conducting workshops on the application of organizational performance engineering, he is currently working with developers to complete ProgressCharter, a mobile/web application that will make it easy to implement the EARS Process of Organizational Performance Engineering.
The EARS process has the following steps:
- Evaluate client progress.
- Analyze provider performance problems.
- Recommend changes in provider resources, training, and management.
- Solve provider performance problems by designing and implementing recommended solutions.
Participation Fee: € 150 + € 10 administrative fees.
Registration is only valid after payment is received.
Refunds for the participation fee will be issued exclusively in the following cases:
