To develop a collection of training materials and resources that will assist community corrections agencies in preventing and addressing staff sexual misconduct. These resources will include a literature search, a glossary, a policy review guide, training for trainers using virtual instructor-led training (VILT) distance delivery, and curriculum and materials for training staff, staff supervisors, and agency leadership.
Objectives
A proposal responsive to this solicitation should, at a minimum: identify a plan to address the scope and timeframe of the project; determine the methodology and resources necessary to deliver the work products; and identify a team that includes members with experience and subject matter expertise in designing and developing instructional materials for adult learners. The qualified applicant team will be able to:
- Research currently available information and resources (including information on staff sexual misconduct in community supervision and related professions).
- Development of a standard glossary for use with this body of work.
- Development of a policy review guide for agencies in determining if they are using the most comprehensive policy language on this topic.
- Gather information regarding the current relevant state statutes, administrative rules, and a sampling of community supervision agency policies.
- Conduct virtual meetings to collect content and information from subject matter experts who will be asked to review materials and provide feedback.
- Develop a virtual training approach/procedure, including ideal timing duration, number of participants, number of trainers, and phases (i.e., preparation/readiness, content delivery, etc.).
- Develop virtual learning modules, including selected topics and activities that adhere to the Instructional Theory Into Practice model. This can include videos, games, and other activities and resources.
- Develop training curriculum documents, complete with all lesson plans and instructor/facilitator scripts/guides for three levels of staff.
- Develop accompanying presentation slide decks for each of the three training modules. These presentations will be included in the training curriculum document.
- Develop accompanying participant manuals for three levels of staff. The master training manual should be provided, segmented by training module, and include the presentations, tools, exercises, and project glossary.
- Dissemination of materials about the training through conference presentations and webinars.
