Support Tools
Support tools enhance the short- and long-term effectiveness of the training experience and produce sustainable employee and volunteer behavior changes.
Action Plans
Each course includes an Action Plan, a printable document that summarizes critical learning points and allows learners to jot down reminder notes as they progress through the course. Learners can keep their Action Plans and refer to them any time they need a refresher.
Discussion Guides
A group leader uses the Discussion Guide to encourage participants to share their own experiences with the content and how they can use it on the job. Group discussions can make the entire learning experience more compelling by creating collective support for building safe environments.
