The National Institute of Corrections, in collaboration with Justice System Partners, developed a series of short how-to microskill videos and an accompanying guidebook for community supervision agencies to use as an educational training resource. There has been a reframing of the officer’s role and a setting aside of the dichotomy between law enforcement-like duties and social worker-like practices. The use of risk, need, and responsivity principles and evidence-based practice strategies are grounded in the ability of the officer to connect skills to the person under supervision. Too often, we are trained in these skills in a vacuum, learning the skill but not setting up the situation for the greatest likelihood of the person adopting the skills. This session will discuss how the microskill videos and guidebook are designed to help officers incorporate and increase their use of EBP strategies and practices into everyday activities.
