NCTSN Learning Collaborative Toolkit
NCTSN Learning Collaborative Toolkit and Support Materials
![]()
The NCTSN Learning Collaborative Toolkit is a guide to successfully developing and leading a Learning Collaborative that not only provides effective training in NCTSN interventions, but also supports the organizational changes necessary to promote and sustain the delivery of these interventions. The Toolkit, which is divided into 11 Modules, outlines sequentially the steps necessary to plan and conduct a Learning Collaborative.
The recommendations and resources in the LC Toolkit were developed based on multiple Learning Collaborative demonstration projects conducted by the NCCTS and Improvement Advisor training/consultation* the NCCTS staff has received. The NCCTS and the NCTSN continue to evaluate and adapt the Learning Collaborative methodology in order to increase the art and science of improvement strategies for promoting successful implementation, adoption, and spread of evidenced-based practices to benefit traumatized children and their families.
