Supervision CEU: Design Smarter: Using Instructional Design to Improve Staff and Stakeholder Training

Behavior analysts are frequently asked to train others: RBTs learning new clinical procedures, caregivers implementing behavior support plans at home, school staff maintaining programming during the instructional day, and organizational leaders understanding the evidence base for ABA. Yet formal training in how to design and deliver training is rarely part of BCBA preparation programs.

Course Description

This presentation introduces a systematic approach to instructional design tailored for behavior analysts delivering training to staff, caregivers, or broader stakeholders. Using the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate), Allie Wharam walks participants through how to analyze performance gaps, identify root causes, and develop intentional training that leads to generalizable behavior change. Through a blend of instructional theory and behavioral application, the presentation illustrates how to connect BST with larger training structures, including multimedia delivery, job aids, and evaluation systems.

  1. Apply the ADDIE instructional design model to plan and deliver effective staff and stakeholder training.
  2. Identify root causes of performance gaps and design targeted training interventions to address them.
  3. Integrate BST with multimedia delivery, job aids, and evaluation systems to promote generalization of trained skills.
