I completed a training needs analysis and developed a learner persona to have a clear picture of who this course is for and the problems that need to be solved. Learner Persona: Teachers who face feelings of defeat due to students having trouble managing their emotions, getting along with fellow classmates, low academic achievement, and being unmotivated to improve grades. Tools used in development: Google Docs, Google Slides, iMovie

Step 5: Implement

Description: The course is facilitated to a group of approximately 20-30, K-12 teachers with varying degrees of tenure, with various backgrounds. Allow up to 40 minutes for the live delivery of the course. Tool used in development: PowerPoint, Adobe Premier Pro

Step 6: Evaluate

Description: The effectiveness of the course will be analyzed by comparing the student test scores and number of behavior referrals before and after the training and teacher implementation of the strategies learned. Data from surveys given to teachers who completed the training will also be analyzed. The projected results would be: Increase in student test scores, a decrease in the number of behavior referrals, and improved teacher morale. Tool used in development: Canva, Google Slides
