The health and well-being of our members and staff is our highest priority. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Nevada Registry office is closed to the public and our staff is working remotely. We are able to maintain most normal operations and continue processing applications and renewal forms, approving training requests for online courses and responding to email messages. Because there may be a slight delay in the receipt of new membership applications submitted via the mail, The Nevada Registry is temporarily accepting complete NEW membership applications via email. If you need assistance, please email our office at nevadaregistry@washoeschools.net rather than leaving a voicemail message as email is currently the quickest way to communicate with Registry staff. Please stay healthy and be well! 

Looking for training? There are currently over 1500 Registry-approved online courses currently listed on the Training Calendar available to take to meet your annual training requirements while complying with social distancing guidelines. These courses are easily accessible from a desktop computer, laptop or any smart device and can be completed from the privacy of your own home, any time of day, 365 days per year. Please consider this as an alternative to group in-person training sessions if you are in need of completing training hours for Licensing during this period of uncertainty.

Tip of the Week (Trainers): Adult Learner Disengagement

Posted Monday, May 2, 2016 by Shelly Nye

According to Constant Hine, author of "Engaging Adult Learners Using Multiple Intelligences" these are some common indicators that adult learners are not engaged in a learning experience:

  1. Learners are hesitant to interact with you or peers.
  2. Learners do not care — leaning back, arms crossed, putting hands on heads, etc.
  3. Learners do not ask questions about the material.
  4. Participants do not share an understanding of the content when opportunities are provided.
  5. Participants repeatedly make "Yeah... but" statements.
  6. Participants make comments like, "This is good theory, but..."
  7. Learners have a "deer in headlights" expression.
  8. Learners are acting in inappropriate ways during the session — texting, arriving late, side talking, etc.

Be on the lookout for these signs and adjust your presentation accordingly in order to deliver the most effective learning experiences!
