We have applied the same tactics of behavioral science to the design of this program to enhance learning outcomes and change behavior. Along the way, participants will use carefully designed tools to help set goals for how they will implement and evaluate their own performance in the workplace once they leave the course. ach module includes exercises complete with downloadable worksheets, so participants leave with a tangible, personalized workbook in hand.
Important Information About Module 1:
Module 1 is unique from the other nine modules because it is divided into two sections.
- Competency Needs Assessment. The first section of Module 1 will include an introduction to the entire certificate course. In this section, you will be prompted to complete a Competency Needs Assessment to score your performance on the nine competencies that will be covered in the following nine modules. You will also learn about the 90-Day Shaping Plan, which is a tool you will use to set goals for yourself at the end of Modules 2-10.
- Key Behavioral Science Concepts. The second section of Module 1 covers some key behavioral science concepts that will be applied to competencies in the remaining nine modules. These concepts are each split up into their own video. They were split up this way to allow you to easily access them again, in case you need a refresher on that concept when you hear it being applied to a competency in Modules 2-10. For example, in Module 5, “Managing Time so it Doesn’t Manage You,” you will learn how the concept of “shaping” is applied to the competency of time management. If you find yourself needing a refresher of the concept of shaping, you can re-watch the Influencing video in Module 1, which covers the concept of shaping.
Important Information About Modules 2 - 10:
The other nine modules (Modules 2-10) will be split up into three sections. You will be prompted to download two things at the beginning of these modules:
- A worksheet. You will use this to fill in your responses to questions/activities that pop up in the videos in that module.
- A 90-Day Shaping Plan. You will use this to fill in at least one goal for yourself related to something that was covered in that module. You will learn about this tool in Module 1.
