Outcome statements typically specify the knowledge, skills, or attitudes learners will acquire and be able to demonstrate during or following the learning experience. Learners should be aware of these intended learning outcomes prior to and during the activity.

Please attach a complete and final agenda to this application

The agenda must show specific training subjects. It must also include break times (10-15 minutes for every 2.5 hours of instruction) and meal breaks (full day sessions should include a 30-60 minute lunch period). Any agenda or program changes must be approved by WMU before the first day of the program via written request.

Please Note: Agendas must reflect the number of hours indicated for the program, excluding breaks. Once the program is approved, you and/or your presenter must run the program according to the final agenda submitted with this application. This means there can be no changes to the program agenda. As an example, a presenter or administrator cannot:

Skip breaks to allow early release.
Shorten the lunch break to allow early release.

Make the end time earlier (if you run over that’s okay)
