Unit OverviewInstructional Goal
Given instruction on concepts and theories that create the foundation of effective
performance management processes; leaders will apply motivation theory, root cause analysis,
behavioral assessment interpretation, and brain based coaching techniques; to create performance
management strategies that focus on managing talent holistically.
Audience
Participants work as individual contributors in various leadership functions within a large
healthcare organization. The learner group is comprised of 30 adult learners, 17 male and 13
female. Fourteen are Caucasian (6 male, 8 female); five are Indian (3 male, 2 female); six are
Hispanic (2 male, 4 female); and five are Asian (2 male, 3 female). Their ages range between ages
26 and 59. Learners identified to participate in this unit of instruction have a basic understanding of
employment law, front-line supervisor duties, and job-focused assessments. Entry level skills
required for this instruction are a minimum of one year of leadership experience; participation in at
least 2 cycles of performance management with the company; and completion of Fundamentals of
Management, an internal course which leaders take through the company’s LMS.
Length of Instructional Unit
The instructional unit is 10 hours in length, has 7 lesson plans and will be taught over a 2
day period. The instruction begins with a comprehensive pre-assessment, includes learner
instruction, learning activities, and mini-assessments within each unit of instruction; and concludes
with a comprehensive assessment. Task detail can be found in Appendix A.

Delivery Approach
The instructional strategy created by the designer is one that consists of a traditional
classroom setting with a group of learners; with information presented in an objective by objective
basis with intervening activities. The instructional strategy is heavily supported through the use of
constructivist theory and cognitivism. The learning has been developed with the intention of
allowing for an authentic learning experience by allowing participants to work collaboratively; draw
from personal experience; and provides for multiple viewpoints/perspectives (Dick, Carey, &
Carey, 2009).
Cognitivist theory asserts that learners reorganize information and instructors should focus
on activities that create new mental models to improve learner processing and recall (Dick, Carey,
& Carey, 2009). There are opportunities for learners to comparing new information to existing
information; organize information for easy recall; and develop effective strategies for learning. In
the first two lessons, in order to create the foundation of knowledge from which the learner will
draw upon for subsequent lessons, a significant amount of new information is being introduced.
The instruction includes Cognitivist structure to allow learners to chunk information for easy recall.
Discussion of the Design Process Used
Theories of Design help to produce effective instruction by identifying goals of instruction
and linking them to learning outcomes. They assess ideal conditions for learning and evaluate
instructional methods for efficacy. Additionally they are important for determining scope of
instruction, including constraints (e.g. cognitive load). The design process used by this designer
was Wiggins Theory of Backwards Design. This design theory begins with the end in mind (results
needed) and guides the instructor through two additional stages, “determining evidence that results
have been achieved” and then, “plan the instruction”. The strengths of Wiggins Theory is that it
5
identifies goals before instruction is designed; determines evidence for measuring the result; defines
the scope of instruction; and links instructional activities to the end result (Dick, Carey, & Carey,
2009).
Instructional Strategies
The instructional strategy used is Dick, Carey, and Carey's (2009) 5 Instructional
Component Model; which is a consolidation of Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction. The designer
began by identifying pre-instructional activities to be used before beginning the actual instruction.
Pre-instructional activities seek to satisfy the motivating needs of learners by stimulating prior
recall, and informing them of what they will learn. The overarching goal with this strategy is to
gain learner attention. In some of the lessons, this consists of showing a brief video (4-8 minutes),
which creates an emotional or intellectual reaction in the learner.
The next step was to determine which content should be presented to the learner. The
designer chose to present content using structure that allows for deductive and inductive learning,
intermixed with learning guidance. Instructional delivery will leverage photos, clipart, and memes
as visual reinforcement of key points. Videos from subject matter experts in the fields of employee
coaching and effective communication will provide learners perspective and expertise in the
concepts being presented. Facilitated discussion will be used to allow learners to bring forward
real life examples from their own performance management experiences. An intentional effort will
be made to ensure learners are engaged in meaningful dialogue related to the examples and key
points. Learners will use a selected scenario and case study to apply concepts of this lesson.
At the conclusion of instruction, learners will be provided either a guided worksheet or a
posttest; wherein they will be required to demonstrate their mastery (with 80% accuracy) of the
concepts learned. Some assessments will require that learners work collaboratively with a
6
classmate. Some assessments will require learners to evaluate case studies in order to practically
apply knowledge gained.
The last component of the instructional strategy is designing to include for follow-through
activities. This component is important to improve recall and transfer of learning in the
performance environment. Learners will apply knowledge from this lesson in subsequent lessons.
Learners will apply concepts from this lesson in order to manage performance issues in the
workplace effectively.
The learner group is comprised of leaders from all levels and departments within the
organization. Their learning styles are varied; including those who are visual; those who learn
better in quiet and organized environments; and those who are inpatient with lectures and other non-
participatory activities. The designer has broken up text in presentations with visuals in order to
link information with another sensory stimulus. In order to accommodate those who work better in
quiet and organized environments, the designer has created activities which allow individuals to
work on their own for portions of the assignment. Learners will also join with other participants
into small structured groups (with assigned roles). The designer has also incorporated at least one
brief activity into each module which allows for learners to get up and move around and interact
with new members of the group.

Lesson Overview
Using the instructional goal a terminal objective was created leveraging concepts and
theories that create the foundation of effective performance management processes, such as
motivation theory, root cause analysis, behavioral assessment interpretation, and brain based
coaching techniques; leaders will demonstrate mastery of the aforementioned theories and concepts
by meeting or exceeding the required score on the summative assessments in each of the units of
instruction in the Performance Management and Root Cause Analysis instructional unit.
8
Performance objectives (which are reflected in each lesson plan) were created for each task and sub
task.
Lesson Plan Summaries
The first lesson is intended to create a foundation and focuses on employee performance
issues and the implications for organizations and leaders. The most critical components of this
lesson are what is known about performance issues; what are the implications for the organization
and what are the resulting responsibilities for leaders. Given a selected article, job aid, and
classroom instruction, learners will identify (list) 5 ways that effective performance management of
employees mitigates risk for an organization with 80% accuracy (as compared to list of possible
responses).
The second lesson is intended to introduce learners to root cause analysis by using the Fougi
Template. The most critical components of this lesson are the evaluation of whether the
performance deficiency is worth correcting; the determination of whether the issue is related t skill,
will, or knowledge; if training is needed; if coaching is needed; and whether a role realignment
should be considered. Learners will utilize clickers (Socrative Student Response app) to participate
in pre-instructional activity. Given 2 selected scenarios, learners work in pairs using the Fougi
Template, to analyze and determine (list) root cause of performance issues with 100% accuracy (as
compared to list of possible responses).
In lesson 3, the focus is how to leverage feedback and coaching to impact employee
performance, including the difference between the two. It is not uncommon for leaders to avoid
conflict which can greatly impact coaching conversations. Therefore, this lesson emphasizes the
importance of critical conversations and how to manage emotions through detachment and how to
control circular conversations. Given a selected scenario and using rules which differentiate
feedback and coaching; learners will discriminate between (select) applying feedback or coaching
9
to address performance issues with 100% accuracy (as compared to correct response for each
scenario). Additionally, given a selected handout and job aid which detail principles of managing
critical conversations, learners will describe (list) 3 common barriers to effective coaching
conversations with 67% accuracy (as compared to list of possible responses).
Lesson 4 introduces learners to motivation theory its link to employee performance,
including intrinsic versus extrinsic factors; Herzberg's hygiene-motivation theory; McGregor's
Theory X and Theory Y of motivation; and new findings in motivation theory. Given a selected
article and guided learning worksheet, learners will describe (text response) how they will use
motivation theory in the performance management process, by responding to questions on
worksheet with 80% accuracy (as compared to correct response for each question). Additionally,
this lesson will present information on behaviors and intrinsic factors, including personal,
underlying, driving needs; alignment of personal needs with role; and making role alignment
determinations without behavioral assessments. Given a selected articles and instruction on
behavioral assessments, learners will work in pairs, to select 2 motivating needs necessary for job fit
for each role listed, with 75% accuracy (as compared to list of correct response for each type).
Lesson 5 introduces learners to the concept of brain based coaching, including coaching
with the brain in mind; the brain as a social organ; and brain mapping and behavior change. Given
a podcast which further explains the content, learners will demonstrate their understanding of the
principles of brain based coaching, with 80% accuracy (as compared to list of possible responses)
by listing (text response) the 5 key points for the author's framework.
Lesson 6 builds on lesson 5's brain based coaching concepts by introducing the SCARF
model. This model helps leaders assess common interactions with employees and determine if
something can be changed to decrease "threat" risks, including lack of certainty and autonomy, as
well as perceived relatedness and fairness. Threat risks decrease employee performance. Given
10
selected text, reference materials, and guided learning worksheet, learners will describe (select an
answer) how the principles of the SCARF model are applicable to the performance management
process, by answering questions with 80% accuracy (as compared to correct response for each
question).
Lesson 7 provides leaders with a model for brain based coaching and builds on lessons 5 and
6. The ARIA model by David Rock is a coaching technique that helps leaders to have brief
coaching conversations wherein they guide an employee to insights about their performance. The
intent being that employees are more likely to change their behavior if they arrive at an insight
about a performance issue or challenge. Given a selected article which details the principles of
ARIA coaching, and a guided learning worksheet, learners will work in pairs to identify (text
response) with 80% accuracy (as compared to correct answer for each question), the 5 key
components of this framework. Additionally, given a selected case study, learners will apply the
principles of brain based coaching, including the SCARF model, the ARIA model; and root cause
analysis, using the Fougi Template to select appropriate responses to multiple choice questions with
80% accuracy (as compared to correct response for each question).

Ask learners how working under a threat response can impact cognitive performance. Ask learners to provide examples they have seen in the workplace with employees and how
they attempted to address the issues. Ask learners how knowing about the SCARF model would lead them to plan different
intervention strategies.
Content presentation: Instructional delivery will leverage PowerPoint as visual reinforcement of key points of the SCARF model. Videos from subject matter experts in the fields of employee motivation and behavioral assessment, will provide learners perspective and expertise in the concepts being presented.
Key Points to Discuss:
Status: Discuss how leaders, by virtue of their "status", can invoke a threat response. Ask learners in what ways leaders can diminish this threat response in employees.
Certainty: Discuss how a lack of certainty can invoke a threat response. Ask learners in what ways leaders can diminish this threat response in employees.
23
Autonomy: Discuss how a lack of autonomy can invoke a threat response. Ask learners in what ways leaders can diminish this threat response in employees.
Relatedness: Discuss a lack of relatedness can invoke a threat response. Ask learners in what ways leaders can diminish this threat response in employees.
Fairness: Discuss how a lack of fairness (including perceived unfairness) can invoke a threat response. Ask learners in what ways leaders can diminish this threat response in employees.
Learner Participation: Facilitated discussion will be used to allow learners to bring forward real life examples from their own performance management experiences. Prompts from the SCARF model will be included in the PowerPoint presentation. An intentional effort will be made to ensure learners are engaged in meaningful dialogue related to the examples and key points. Learners will use a selected case study to apply concepts of this lesson.
Assessment: At the conclusion of instruction, learners will be provided a selected case study depicting a performance management challenge and learners will describe how (select an answer) the principles of The SCARF model would be applied in order to address performance issues present in the case study, with 80% accuracy (as compared to correct response for each question).
Questbase for Assessment Completion: Direct learners to log in to their Questbase accounts and complete assessment, per included instructions.
Follow-through activities: Learners will apply knowledge from this lesson in subsequent lessons. Learners will apply concepts from this lesson in order to manage performance issues in the workplace effectively.
Title: LESSON 7: ARIA Model
Lesson Overview: This lesson will introduce learners to the concept The ARIA model by David Rock and the implications for leader's attempts to manage employee performance. The lesson will educate learners on the fundamentals of the ARIA model, including awareness, reflection, insight, and action. Learners will apply knowledge by completing an in class activity which requires them to evaluate a selected case study to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts.

Lesson Standards: N/A, corporate learning environment
Lesson Objectives:
9) Given a selected article which details the principles of ARIA coaching, and a guided learning worksheet, learners will work in pairs to identify (text response) with 80% accuracy (as compared to correct answer for each question), the 5 key components of this framework.
10) Given a selected case study, learners will apply the principles of brain based coaching, including the SCARF model, the ARIA model and root cause analysis, using the Fougi Template to select appropriate responses to multiple choice questions with 80% accuracy (as compared to correct response for each question).
Time: 1.5 hours
Pre-instructional activities: Learners will view a short video which introduces the concept of The ARIA model. After watching the video, learners will be asked to describe a recent event which supports or negates the concept.
Creating Meaningful Dialogue:
Ask learners to think about a time when they were struggling significantly with solving a problem. Ask them if they solicited advice and if yes, how often was advice given.
Ask them how many times they took the advice. For the times they took the advice, what caused them to do so. If they did not take the advice, what was the reason for not doing so.
Ask learners how frequently they tell their employees to do something that will improve their performance and the employee does not take the advice.
Content presentation: Instructional delivery will PowerPoint as visual reinforcement of key points of the SCARF model. Videos from subject matter experts in the fields of employee motivation and behavioral assessment, will provide learners perspective and expertise in the concepts being presented.
Key Points to Discuss:
Awareness: Discuss how leaders can build awareness of a performance issue with an employee without invoking a threat response.
Reflection: Discuss how leaders can coach employees to reflect on a performance issue effectively.
Insight: Discuss what cues leaders should look for when coaching in order to determine that an employee has reached insight.
Action: Discuss how leaders can coach employees to take action directly following insight.
