CDP Training & Education Programs Flashcards

What is the PRIMARY goal of diversity and inclusion training in an organization?

Answer: To build knowledge, awareness, and skills that enable employees to create and sustain an inclusive workplace

Effective D&I training builds capability at all levels by developing awareness, knowledge, and actionable skills for inclusive behavior.

Research suggests that mandatory, one-time diversity training is MOST likely to:

Answer: Generate short-term awareness gains that fade without reinforcement and sustained practice

Studies show mandatory one-time trainings rarely produce lasting change and can even trigger reactance; sustained, integrated learning is more effective.

Which instructional design model is MOST commonly used when developing D&I training programs to align learning outcomes with organizational goals?

Answer: ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation)

The ADDIE model provides a systematic framework for designing training programs that align content with specific learning objectives and measurable outcomes.

A D&I professional is designing allyship training for managers. Which learning approach is MOST likely to produce behavior change?

Answer: Scenario-based practice with real-world allyship situations, peer discussion, and reflection exercises

Scenario-based learning with practice, discussion, and reflection activates adult learning principles and builds transferable skills for real-world application.

What is 'transfer of training' and why is it critical in D&I education?

Answer: The degree to which skills and knowledge learned in training are applied on the job in real situations

Transfer of training measures whether D&I learning actually changes behavior at work, which is the ultimate measure of training effectiveness.

Which of Kirkpatrick's four levels of training evaluation measures whether participants actually changed their on-the-job behavior after D&I training?
