Training Plan
25

Use the ADDIE Model

ADDIE Training Cycle
ADDIE is the standard model of the
training design process:
1. Analyze (the need)
2. Design (the objectives and strategy)
3. Develop (the training program itself)
4. Implement (the training design)
5. Evaluate (if the objectives were met)
27

Project Life Cycle
The Project Life Cycle
includes the phases of
the project from the
beginning to the end
This can also be
thought of in ADDIE
terms
28

Team Formation
29

Readings
Leading discussions on readings
includes:
– Summarize the fundamental points /
messages of the readings
– Critically evaluate the readings (Do the
readings work for your practice? Do you
agree or disagree with the points, etc.)
– Support your perspectives
