    This week I will be talking about my initial training in the 911 communications center and discuss an educational concept called the Zone of Proximal Development. I will also talk about the question that comes up frequently. How Can training for public safety communications personnel be modernized for the next generation? If you have something you would like to share, send me an email at info@brainstorm911.com and let me know if I can use your comments in the next episode. Disclosure: I am not associated with, supported by, or a customer of any of the companies that I have talked about or listed. I am simply a fan. I incorrectly identified Mark Fletcher as being employed by Inform 911, he is with NG911. I apologize for the mistake. 1. Zone of Proximal Development – An Affirmative Perspective. 2. ThoughtCO. What is the Zone of Proximal Development? 3. On Scene First – Tracy Eldridge 4. NGA 911 Solution – D. Jeremy DeMar. 5. Calhoun County 9-1-1 6. Kari Hunt Foundation
