“Maximizing the Role of Subject Matter Experts in Training Implementation and Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Learning Environment”

Topic #1 – Subject Matter Experts (SME)
Your subject matter
expert (SME) likely plays a role in the design and development of training.
What role (if any) should the SME play in the implementation of the training?
What factors might impact this role? Be sure to use at least two resources
from the class.
Topic #2 – Implementing a Positive Learning
Environment  
It is important to ensure that everyone receives
equitable access to training opportunities and that everyone has a positive
learning environment.  Think about your target population from the TNA
Assignment 1.  Now think about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
— Diversity, which is often perceived to be about
perspective, representation, tough conversation, and supporting
inclusion. Inclusion prompts answers about creating
environments conducive to feedback, supporting diversity, and being
open. Equity can be described as fairness, sameness, and
valuing diversity and inclusion.  How is your
training taking DEI into consideration? Be sure to use at least two resources
from the class.
