Choose a focus with your team
Start with the work your staff do. Ask which of the session topics are relevant to that work and what your team wants learners to be able to explain or demonstrate. The CDC recommends linking learning objectives to training goals and competencies. Read the CDC's guidance on learning objectives.
Use the first two sessions in the free seven-day trial to check the format and discuss questions with your team. For help with trial access for your staff, email contact@special-learning.com. After the trial, compare your team's learning needs with the full session list and plan a supervisor follow-up.
