Abstract

There is a growing urgency to equip transition-age students with intellectual and developmental disabilities for competitive, integrated employment. Prior research demonstrates the positive effects of job coaching, yet no known training exists for educators to learn how to provide appropriate employment-related supports to promote student independence and social integration. We conducted a stratified quasi-experimental design to evaluate the efficacy and social validity of a professional development pilot program for 46 transition educators across three school districts. Our findings indicate the Job Coaching Academy contributed to increased feelings of self-efficacy related to job coaching and modest growth in educators’ coaching behaviors. We share implications for practice and research in expanding targeted training opportunities for transition educators.
过渡教育工作者职业指导学院的初步评价
越来越迫切需要为有智力和发育障碍的过渡年龄学生提供竞争性的综合就业机会。先前的研究表明了工作指导的积极作用,但目前还没有已知的培训可供教育工作者学习如何提供适当的就业相关支持,以促进学生独立和社会融合。我们对三个学区的46名过渡教育工作者进行了分层准实验设计,以评估专业发展试点项目的有效性和社会有效性。我们的研究结果表明,工作辅导学院有助于提高与工作辅导相关的自我效能感,并适度提高教育工作者的辅导行为。我们分享了对实践和研究的启示,以扩大过渡教育工作者的有针对性的培训机会。
