Curriculum Outline/Suggested Order of Topics

1. Most topics should take 1 hour or less to deliver.
2. Topics can be delivered as a bundle or as “one-off” sessions.
3. The sessions are listed below in the order that would make the most sense to deliver them if all the sessions were delivered as a bundle or package. However, instructors may use a different order based on learner needs.
