Level Up: Building eLearning Courses on Strategies for Ending Homelessness

This project has a potential $250 honorarium (bonus) on top of the $1400 for 80 hours via the LEVEL UP Program. Help scale up powerful training to help cross-sector coalitions help people more quickly move out of homelessness to housing stability and overcome systemic issues that cause homelessness. Bill Barberg, a co-author of the peer-reviewed article on " Leading Social Transformations: Creating Value and Advancing the Common Good " published in 2021 in the Journal of Change Management, is building out eLearning courses to help bring this game-changing material to coalitions working to address wicked problems. The focus of this work will be transforming the content from the Housing Solution Summit's Deep Dive Days in 2021 into a combination of free content on YouTube and eLearning courses. Students will also be integrating content from a new book on ending homelessness and other new reports to build out details of the strategy. Students will also provide input to refine the courses.

Level Up: Building eLearning Courses on Leading Social Transformation

This project has a $250 honorarium on top of the $1400 for 80 hours via the LEVEL UP Program. Help scale up powerful training to help cross-sector coalitions overcome systemic injustices related to childhood development, education, housing, health and economic equality. Join Bill Barberg, one of the co-authors of the peer-reviewed article on "Leading Social Transformations: Creating Value and Advancing the Common Good" published in 2021 in the Journal of Change Management, in building out powerful eLearning courses to help bring this game-changing material to coalitions working to address wicked problems facing our world. This is a flexible project that could be tailored to the interests and skills of the participant or the teams of participants. The main topic we will be working on involves early childhood development (leveraging cutting-edge brain science), reducing and addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and building resilience in children and young people. Related to that are efforts to transform the family justice system to reduce messy, adversarial divorces, minimizing domestic and sexual violence, reducing child abuse, and expanding the positive experiences that help children thrive in spite of difficult circumstances. A growing team of collaborators are building out the ACEs & Resilience Resource Commons for Communities (ARRCC), a platform built using the same technology as Wikipedia. To economically train the many stakeholders around the U.S. and Canada (and beyond) in how to embrace these powerful techniques, Bill is developing a series of eLearning modules and group coaching programs. This page describes a recent webinar about the aforementioned peer-reviewed article on leading social transformation. It includes many comments from participants and a link to the recording. https://improvepophealth.org/leading-social-transformations DEVELOPING E-LEARNING COURSES Over the past several years, Bill and his team of consultants and collaborators have done hundreds of hours of webinars, coaching sessions, conference presentations and writing on these techniques and tools. This project is to help refine some of that content to make it easier to consume and understand using cutting-edge content creation and eLearning tools. These videos and web pages give examples. This 7-minute video introduces the ARRCC: https://vimeo.com/466446981/a8e152dc6d This 14-minute video is part 1 of a demo: https://vimeo.com/663952922/8e4bd1991d This 9 minute video is part 2 of that demo: https://vimeo.com/664037880/b947a74e49 The project would also focus on promoting the ARRCC Action Network: https://www.insightformation.com/2022arrccan Building eLearning content involves getting to learn some of the subject matter (both collaborative strategy management and the topic of ACEs, resilience and such). It also involves working with various technology to create videos, infographics, and other content for the courses. It also involves working with the eLearning platform. We're using Thinkific. Students could transition into paid contract work after this project.

Building Action Tools for Creating Trauma-Informed, Restorative Schools

This Project has a $250 honorarium on top of the $1400 stipend paid by the Level Up program. We have a team that is working to create a set of information and tools to help a wide range of sectors and organizations adopt trauma-informed and restorative practices to better minimize and address Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The 7-minute video gives an introduction to the general space and our approach to helping communities develop and implement strategies on these topics. We're trying to make it easy for busy stakeholders in multiple cities to adopt good practices. https://vimeo.com/466446981/a8e152dc6d These two short videos give a tour of the ACEs & Resilience Resource Commons for Communities (ARRCC) and the ARRCC wiki. Part 1: 14 minutes https://vimeo.com/663952922/8e4bd1991d Part 2: 9 minutes https://vimeo.com/664037880/b947a74e49 We're working with the authors of the book, "Building a Trauma-Informed Restorative School" to help make some of the content from his book more actionable for school leaders. https://www.joebrummer.com/book/ There may be other things you can work on as we start an 8-month coaching program (which we will give you free access to). https://www.insightformation.com/2022arrccan We have a person who is very experienced in restorative practices that will review the summary content and tools that you create. You'll start by spending about 10 hours going through training on strategy management principles and techniques so you can have that in yiour head as you strive to draw out specific content from the book. (We'll also point you to other resources that will also be combined with content from this book.) You can also spend about 10 hours going through content from the 2021 ARRCC Action Network recordings. You will also be learning how to add topics, content, and links to a wiki built using the Media Wiki platform. We also can provide many different tools you might use to communicate some of these concepts--such as Doodly or Toonly videos or use other tools for social media posts or flyers. If you want, you can spend some time working on social media content that communities might use to raise awareness or understanding on these topics.
