A comprehensive approach to designing instruction
The Instructional design process is complex and requires an advanced analytical repertoire on the part of the designer.
We start this process from the top at intake with our clients.
Throughout this process, one step leads to the next in order to build a comprehensive individualized program to meet learner needs.
But it doesn’t stop there.
​
Analysis is the foundation of this process.
Every step provides an opportunity to look closely at the content to understand how our learners respond and what steps to take next. Given that analysis is embedded within every step of the process, decisions can and SHOULD be made at every step of the process.
Those decisions will lead us back to the drawing board, or to previous steps.
It is an iterative process.
The analysis involved provides us with new information and an opportunity to change so that we can continually make effective and efficient change in our clients’ lives.

Our Story and Our Why
This is NOT an online course
This is an intensive training program to develop your skills and prepare you to design better instruction. We have designed a series of online courses paired with live coaching sessions that will be highly interactive so that we can maximize opportunities for learning and feedback. In addition, to provide the best possible experience for all of our learners we are dedicating the time and expertise of three highly experienced designers to provide live coaching during sessions and review your work products between sessions.
​
Success in achieving the ambitious goals we have for you in this program will require live attendance and full, distraction-free participation. In the business world, opportunities to upskill are provided via coding bootcamps - we see this as a similar experience, but for teachers and behavior analysts!
