About C WORX Reality Based Training
"We play how we practice."
Experiential Learning Theory incorporates Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization and Active Experimentation into the learning experience. To successfully incorporate these learning tenants requires a highly skilled roleplayer - facilitator team.
For a role-play to be an effective learning technique, the role-players must have the skill to draw the student into a simulated environment, portray believable characters, and create high emotional stakes to keep the student engaged in the learning for the duration of the role-play. That alone is not enough; the role-player must also understand the learning objectives of the training exercise and be able to guide the learning process so that the student grasps those objectives and integrates them during the exercise. Facilitation must incorporate reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and the opportunity to actively experiment with the conclusions drawn. Juggling all these role-play elements is not easy, but the C WORX role-players and facilitators have perfected this art.
Since 1989* the C WORX professional role-players have specialized in the accurate portrayal of persons in crisis and/or suffering from chemical, mood, thought or personality disorders. Our expertise in portraying believable characters is punctuated by the ability to employ active listening skills, and to operate the C WORX proprietary role-play training technique. This system guides the participant through the scenario and provides positive and negative reinforcement regarding the demonstration of skills learned. C WORX proprietary role-play training technique is an interactive learning experience between the participant, the facilitator and the role-player. This highly effective adult learning process is an active, skill developing exercise that embraces visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles.
