Goal: You are an OVW grantee who provides legal and advocacy services to survivors of domestic violence and you also conduct national trainings. Your goal is to create an education program for attorneys and advocates in legal organizations across the country on how to interview survivors who come to you for assistance with a child custody matter. You have sufficient funds to create a one day program and you have the flexibility to conduct the training in person, online, or in combination. Karen

Creating Successful Programs “It’s been said that bad classes are based on activities, that mediocre classes are based on materials, and that good classes are based on objectives.”   --Dan Spalding, How to Teach Adults Karen

Learning Objectives Warm-Up What is a learning objective? Why are learning objectives important? Karen

Learning Objectives (1) Objectives detail, in a measurable way, the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills that you want learners to develop. Karen

Learning Objectives (2): Bloom’s Taxonomy (Also see handout) Creating Evaluating Analyzing Applying Understanding Remembering Jen

Learning Objectives (3) Bloom’s taxonomy-as you write objectives, identify which of the cognitive domains each falls into. Critique: Learners will understand how to create an online training video. Jen

Learning Objectives (4) When you are creating learning objectives, ask yourself: Is this something the learner would actually do in the real world? Can I tell when they have done it? Jen

Writing Objectives Let’s consider one of the needs we listed for our sample topic. Would someone like to submit a learning objective? Use the Chat box. Karen

Critiquing Objectives: Objectives should be “S.M.A.R.T” Specific Measurable Actionable Relevant Timely   Jen and Karen
