Quick Check: What Resources Can Vroom Provide? 

Vroom Tips are the heart of Vroom Content.


The Full Tip Collection

Remember when we covered the [Vroom Tips in 
Module 1](https://toolkit.vroom.org/module-1/vroom-tips-are-for-parents-and-caregivers?restored=1 "Module 1: Vroom Tips")? Now might be a good time to review those sections if you need a refresher!

Helpful Hint

The Vroom Tips collection can be sorted and searched using tags. For example, you can search for tips that are based on activities to do with a child at bedtime by searching the tag “bedtime.”

About Searching and Sorting

Finding the Right Vroom Tips

There are six categories of tags in the database. Each category contains many tags, as you’ll soon learn.

Combining Tags

This content “batching” will also allow you to test your work along the way, get feedback and adjust your approach, if necessary. Content batching can also help break the adaptation process down into manageable blocks of work for you as well as our review and approvals process. 

When you adapt Vroom Content, we recommend breaking up the process into smaller pieces using these tags. Then you can prioritize the content that is most relevant for your audience and program.  

Using Tags as You Adapt

For your application for an A.L.T. Vroom Content License, you will want to think through who in your organization will take on different parts of the adaptation process and which parts of your organization will be involved.  

Questions to Consider

You will want to consider the following questions:

A Sample Activation Plan

Here is an example of the planning process suggested by Child Care Aware of America:

Understand what is most appropriate for your community or activation in real time

Testing and Evaluation

Leverage Community Insights

High-Level Testing Guidance

Testing Methods

Points 3 &4

Representation matters! Find ways to ensure that the families you are seeking to reach are genuinely reflected in your approach.  

The Big Idea

Once Vroom Tips are adapted, they must be submitted to Vroom for approval.  


Vroom Approval

Remember [this process](https://www.vroom.org/for-professionals/adapting-vroom-content/page-2#:~:text=Steps%20to%20Adapting%20Vroom%20Content)?

2. Application 
3. Application Review 
4. License Approval
5. Content Adaptation and Materials Development 
6. Adaptation and Materials Review 
7. Feedback and Iteration 
8. Approval

Review Process

Review Process - Body

Your Responsibilities

All adaptations of Vroom Content and uses of Vroom Trademarks __must be reviewed__ by Vroom prior to use.   

Don't Forget

Before using or distributing adapted content

Here is a sample of the form we will ask you to use as you submit your adapted tips back to Vroom for review and feedback. There may be a few rounds of back-and-forth until an adapted tip is approved. 

Vroom Tip Adaptation Template

If you adapt Vroom Tips, you will need to ensure each one still has all four essential elements. 

Quick Check: Adaptation Review

You are almost done! Before you move on to starting your Vroom Content License application, we’ll look with a little more detail at the critical adaptation parameters. 

Adaptation Guidelines

Adaptation Do's & Don'ts

Keep language simple and accessible. All adapted Vroom Content should be at or below a primary school level.

Pre-approved Adaptations

Remember, all final versions of content, including visual adaptations, must be submitted to Vroom for final review, approval, and archiving.  These adaptations may be shared with other communities.
