NAPD's Public Defender Bring Your Own “Course” Train the Trainer program for the development of distance learning courses for your organizations. This course will utilize both synchronous and asynchronous instruction methods. Participants will be expected to read materials and watch short videos on your own in preparation for each class meeting.
Through the course, you will create a comprehensive coaching and communication strategy, performance agreements, and evaluations, as well as ways to provide strengths-based developmental feedback.
This course explores intersectionality and use of self in mitigation development, client-centered representation advocacy, environmental and community factors impacting clients, report writing, and the inclusion of special topics to understand and give context to a client's life and story. The capstone project at the conclusion of the course will require you to prepare a report and summary presentation that relies on the content learned from the modules through this course.
