the capacity to fix mistakes as you would in real life
Scenarios Accelerate Time: Allowing us to
make a decision, implement it, and
experience its consequences all within
the same exercise
Scenarios Promote Critical Thinking: Providing a context to implement our best judgment
Scenarios Provide Shared Context:
Accelerating community building or bonding between
people and improving morale

Static Scenarios
• Scripted or videos
• Does not change
• Provides content
• May show common pitfalls
• If utilized to show pitfalls, always also demonstrate correct practice
Open-Ended Scenarios
• Portions are scripted, but unresolved
• May have attendees intervene at different points in the scenario
• Skills practiced are definitive and measurable

• As close to real life as possible
• Are best recorded and reviewed and coaching
• Requires actor/trainers who are prepped and understand their roles

How do I start utilizing scenario based training?
For new staff:
• Identify protocols and procedures and then find/build a rubric to measure skills.
• Write static scenarios designed to highlight pitfalls, open-ended scenarios to practice individual skills, and comprehensive scenarios to bring it all together.
For experienced staff:
• Have each of them write down their ‘nightmare’ scenarios.
• Review them with staff, getting specific about skills/learning could make this less of a nightmare.
• Coordinate/develop training based on what skills they identify which would be helpful in this scenario utilizing the written out scenarios within the training.
