Program It Right Training
How to Write a Program Staff Can Actually Run
$29.99
"Staff will support Marcus to improve independent eating" isn't a program — it's the goal, restated with "staff will support" tacked on the front. It doesn't tell a new employee what to do, doesn't tell you what to measure, and doesn't tell anyone when it's actually working.
This training breaks down the gap that trips up most program writers: a SMART goal tells you what the person will achieve, but the program is a separate translation job — turning that goal into steps a staff member who's never met the person could pick up and run correctly on day one. You'll learn the three parts every program needs, how to write task steps that don't require guesswork, how to pick the data method that actually matches what the goal is measuring, and the five problems — vague language, mismatched data, missing materials, no finish line, writing for the reviewer instead of the floor — that keep showing up in files and keep programs from actually working.
Includes:
Full slide training covering the translation problem, the 3 parts every program needs, a full worked example (breaking down a SMART goal into a staff-ready program start to finish), a side-by-side of a failing program vs. one that works, and how to choose between frequency, duration, task analysis, and yes/no data
Companion read-along guide with the deeper reasoning behind every slide — why "as needed" is the most common way programs quietly fail
Program Builder cheat sheet with a 5-question framework, a data method quick-reference, task-writing before/after fixes, and a staff-ready checklist to run before you file anything
A program that only works if the same staff member runs it every time isn't a program — it's tribal knowledge with a cover page. This training shows you how to write ones anyone can actually pick up and run.
