For our final step, you’ll think about what individual Learning Opportunities you might offer.

Let’s select one of your “long dose, year or multi-year” learning events to focus on for Step 5.

Chosen learning

Example 5.1: The learning I am going to focus on for this worksheet is:

Advocates need to understand the legislative process and have skills for influencing policy change

5.2: The learning outcomes I want to achieve include:

Example 5.2: The learning outcomes I want to achieve include:

Summarize the legislative process
Explain the difference between advocacy and lobbying and identify which organizations can do which
State the issue to be addressed
Describe and analyze potential policy solutions
Perform a power map analysis to identify supporters and leverage points
Develop an education and campaign strategy
Organize supporters and advocate for change

Brainstorm what types of Learning Opportunities you might offer to achieve your various learning objectives.

You’ve chosen learning that will require multiple components. Start by thinking of the initial Learning Opportunities you might offer (Figure 9). These Learning Opportunites would introduce concepts, provide foundational concepts, share data or facts, or teach best-practices. The learning approach is to address these technical problems through expert knowledge. These are typically Learning Opportunities such as webinars, presentations, self-paced modules, or videos

5.3: The short-term, technical learning I (or my partners) could do:(Required)

Example 5.3: The short-term, technical learning I (or my partners) could do:

Recorded webinar that introduces the issue and provides data for advocates so they are well-versed on the issue.
Panel of community members describing the challenges they experience accessing care.
Presentation to partners new to policy work to explain the legislative process and to describe our policy goals.
Self-paced online module for those new to policy work explaining advocacy vs. lobbying

What Learning Opportunities could you offer next to build on these foundational Learning Opportunities, and further prepare the audience to work on policy and practice changes (Figure 10)? The learning approach is more in-depth and offers opportunity for participants to interact with each other and the material, discuss how it applies to the nuances of their situation, and to practice skills. Learning Opportunities might include workshops, facilitated discussions, cohort-based learning, or multi-session courses.

5.4: The mid-term learning for groups or organizations that I (or my partners) could do is:(Required)

Example 5.4: The mid-term learning for groups or organizations that I (or my partners) could do is:

Facilitated discussions among coalition partners to analyze potential policy solutions.
Monthly workshops with advocates to learn power-mapping strategies, target analysis, and community organizing strategies.
Spokesperson training with follow-up practice sessions wherein members of the community and partner agencies craft and practice messages.

Now, consider the deeper learning that will help to bring about culture change (Figure 12). Learning Opportunities offer the space for the co-creation of knowledge. The participants of the learning are learning from each other and are working together to develop emerging practices. Learning Opportunities are long-term and might include coaching, practice-based learning opportunities, learning institutes, etc.

5.5: The ongoing, longer-term learning that I (or my partners) could do is:(Required)

Example 5.5: The ongoing, longer-term learning that I (or my partners) could do is:

Community organizing within and learning from under-resourced communities.
Campaigning and advocating for change.
Continuous quality improvement discussions within the coalition to build on successes and pivot from strategies that aren’t working; consider who might not be at the table; explore the nuances of the policy process.
