Coaching & Structured Feedback

Flexible Scheduling – $450

This set of activities is designed to support the learner in practicing and building the basic skills learned in the beginning training. Both individual coaching and MI-based feedback have been shown to facilitate skill development. Each learner will receive three coaching sessions along with three evaluations. The coaching is typically done telephonically and involves practicing specific skills and strategies. The MI-based feedback is provided by a faculty evaluation of recorded sessions that may be with real clients or with other learners, using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) 4.1 coding system. The learner receives the actual coding results, as well as suggestions for ongoing practice and improvement. The timing and scheduling of the activities will be negotiated between the coach and the learner.

Goals

  1. Ongoing assessment of skill level with a highlighting of strengths and growth
  2. Active practice with the MI skills and strategies targeted toward the individual learner
  3. Continued deepening of MI skills
