SCID Training - March 26th - March 30th At GRCC, Kent Station

SCID is complementary to the DACUM workshop.  It basically answers the question, “How can you teach most effectively what needs to be taught? “  SCID is a systematic process model used to develop curriculum and instructional materials needed to train tomorrow’s workforce.

Participants will acquire knowledge, skills, and behaviors though small group hands-on experiences.  These will enable them to develop competency-based instructional materials such as Competency Profiles, Learning Guides, Learning Aids, Job Aids, Modules, Curriculum Guides, and Lesson Plans.  One-on-one mentoring is provided throughout the workshop.
