Credentialing, Cataloging, and Prioritizing Skills

Success can be defined as doing the right thing at the right time. What if, the learning experiences and resources with which we armed our employees, students and volunteers were prioritized not by role or function, but individually prioritized for the fastest path to confident and competent performers. 

What's This Course About?
The Allen Academy (Allen Interactions) brings you this NEW COURSE designed to flip curricula development on its head, designing first for outcomes and skills organizations want to improve and second to motivate students through a visual presentation of how individual performances align to what matters most.

This Course is for Those Who Want to:

• Engage in challenging activities that allow you to apply new methods of design and development to your existing or upcoming projects.

• Interact with peers in similar roles facing challenges similar and different from you.
• Gain immediately transferrable skills for your next project while tools provide repeated application in new contexts. 

Here's How it Works:

• Self-paced tool practice, exercises, and reflection each week.
• Prompted weekly discussion with peers and instructor.
• Focus on conversations and the holistic context ensures you can overcome the barriers that usually get in your way.
