Many educators are asked to support students in alternative education programs without receiving the training, resources, or tools to do so effectively. This project responds to that gap by designing a course that equips teachers with practical strategies, adaptable to local district policies and contexts.

Through analysis, I identified the business problem: inconsistent expectations, rising DAEP placements, and a lack of scalable training. My solution was a modular, district-adaptable course that blended empathy, accessibility, and practical design—helping teachers provide consistent support while managing their regular classrooms.

The course prototype demonstrates my use of ADDIE, Backward Design, and the 4C/ID model to build a learning experience that is scalable, user-centered, and impact-driven. Features include:

• Branching scenarios for practicing decision-making

• Interactive simulations and screencasts for hands-on skill building

• Personalized learning paths through pre-assessment

• Accessibility-first design aligned with UDL principles

• Evaluation plan using Kirkpatrick’s Model and xAPI data to measure impact

This case study shows my ability to translate a real-world gap into a sustainable, scalable learning solution—one designed to meet human needs while driving measurable results.
