Training Team Current Priorities

Our team has been in a state of flux, while all our hard work for creating lesson plans launched live on Learn. Yay! But as a team, we need to get things back on track. Briefly, the priorities below are my suggestions based upon the current state of things. Let’s discuss if this is what we as a team agree upon.

Each of these areas can be worked on in an ongoing manner, and various team members may have interest in volunteering around specific focus points at any given time.

Prioritize lesson plans that are current/hot topics, identify which need just a little push to take live.
