The purpose of The Institute for Home Visiting Workforce Development (the Institute) is to improve the quality of home visiting services, support home visitor professional development and well-being, and inform strategies to reduce the costs and disruption associated with frequent staff turnover and retraining. In addition, the project will establish and operate the Jackie Walorski Center for Evidence-Based Case Management (the Center), which will identify, evaluate, and disseminate evidence-based case management best practices within the home visiting context.
Calling Individuals Interested in Home Visiting Workforce Development!
The Institute for Home Visiting Workforce Development is looking for individuals in the home visiting field to participate in a workgroup to inform our research and evaluation efforts. The workgroup will include home visitors, home visiting supervisors, program managers/directors, state, territory, and Tribal home visiting leads, technical assistance, and professional development providers, as well as researchers and evaluators. If you have worked in home visiting for at least one year, you are eligible to participate in the workgroup. Workgroup members will receive an honorarium for their preparation and participation in virtual meetings.
Workgroup Members Will:
