2021 PEG Michigan Association for Evaluation Workshop
May 6, 2021 to May 7, 2021
The Michigan Association for Evaluation is thrilled to announce Dr. Dominica McBride as the keynote speaker for the 2021 virtual conference. The theme for this year's conference is The Promise of Equitable Evaluation: A Journey From Theory to Practice.
Dr. Dominica McBride is a leading thinker on how we evolve beyond the current racial-equity paradigm, a champion of Culturally Responsive Evaluation, and a grassroots advocacy strategist.
Culturally responsive evaluation has evolved and the situation today requires a direct action approach with the communities we engage with. We need a liberated consciousness and the actions that come out of that consciousness to confront these times. How can we shape our inner and collective consciousness to create structural transformation? This talk is going to be about what that looks like. It'll be engaging with exercises to get us in that reflective mode and ready to be leaders in the transformation that could take place right now.

Evidence-based Parenting Interventions to Help Parents Reduce the Use of Physical Punishment
May 7, 2021 - 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM ET
Note: This training is available for free to MDHHS-affiliated child welfare workers.
This course focuses on an issue that many social workers confront in their practice with children and families - the use of discipline and physical punishment in childrearing. This course examines research on the effectiveness of a wide range of parental disciplinary approaches. This course introduces a series of evidence-based parenting interventions, and discusses how these interventions approach parents' beliefs and behaviors related to child discipline. We will discuss how cultural norms and beliefs may influence parents' discipline choices, and how social workers can engage in productive dialogue with parents to help parents achieve their parenting aims. Content of this course is based on the book published by the instructor titled "Ending the physical punishment of children: A guide for clinicians and practitioners."Registration for this course is closed.
