Staff Development Examples

DESIGN FOR PURPOSE and PEOPLE

Learning is about connecting with the people in the room--- purposeful, meaningful, and immediately applicable or interesting.

Guidelines for Staff Trainings and Presentations

Examples of Presentations

(Graphic designer and author of each slideshow below)

I design my adult learning using a variety of online tools (and SAM or ADDIE-adapted pedagogy for adult learning), including Webex, Microsoft, Google Suite, Canvas, Canva, Adobe Express, Blackboard, and online apps (Padlet, PollEv, Slido, etc). I also use Adobe Suite (prefer Photoshop) for graphic design elements and iMovie for video editing. AI can be an excellent tool in developing pedagogically sound training or as a way to simplify and summarize key ideas - such as creating a handout from a slideshow quickly.
