A curriculum designer is building a module on allyship. To maximize psychological safety, which design element is MOST critical?

A CDT wants to design a curriculum module that challenges implicit bias. Which activity is most evidence-based for this purpose?
Answer: Completing the Implicit Association Test (IAT) followed by structured reflection
The IAT combined with structured reflection is a research-supported method for surfacing and processing implicit biases.
Which adult learning principle, associated with Malcolm Knowles, is MOST relevant when designing diversity training for senior leaders?
Answer: Andragogy — learners are self-directed and draw on experience
Andragogy holds that adult learners are self-directed and learn best when content connects to their experience and has immediate relevance — especially important for senior leaders.
Which of the following is the primary purpose of a pilot test before full rollout of a diversity training curriculum?
Answer: To identify content gaps, delivery issues, and learner reactions before large-scale implementation
Pilot testing surfaces problems with content, pacing, clarity, and learner response before the curriculum reaches the full audience.
