 * XYZ Jewelry Diversity Awareness Strategies Table (D2) **

The task analysis for XYZ Jewelry’s Diversity Awareness training revealed that training needs to help the learner accomplish three tasks. These tasks correspond to performance categories which direct our choice of instructional strategies. Concepts, principles, and procedures require different generative strategies to facilitate better integration, recall, and transfer of information. We have identified the following strategies as optimal in the delivery of Diversity Awareness training. The initial presentation and detailed strategies are preliminary at this juncture.

-Video intro to concept should address external & internal forces, ideas, and definitions surrounding equity & diversity.  - Reflection surrounding a central question (i.e., what is equity in the work force?). Possibly chalk talk to create session artifact: [] || Elaboration || -Present the rule and show examples a.k.a. RULEG (Morrison et al. 2011) - Present the company’s policy statement on diversity and challenge learners to take the lead in promoting these goals. -Power Distance Concept & Cognitive Map to be filled in during presentation -PowerPoint slides on some basic differences and how they affect approach to work. (Gender, Generation, and Culture) || Model Practice || -Present strategies that are working for other companies (bias-free language, recruitment, community outreach, networking groups, etc.) using video and PowerPoint. -Learner will draft commitment statement with 3 strategies that they will explore. -Follow-up assignment(s) to refine action items could include a case study corresponding to learner’s top selection of strategies. This could also include planning implementation. ||
