DRAGEN Academy
Most training
changes nothing.
People attend, nod, and go back to doing exactly what they did before. Training that actually transfers looks different: you practice the skill, someone watches, you get feedback, and you do it again until you can demonstrate it.
Method
The same method used with clients.
Behavioral skills training is four steps — explain it, show it, have them try it, tell them how it went — repeated until the person can do the thing. It is not complicated and it is very hard to fake, which is exactly why it works and why most professional development avoids it.
Sessions are built around a specific competency rather than a topic. The measure of success is whether someone can now do something they could not do that morning.
Programs
What is open, and what is not.
Workshops, live and virtual
Skill-building sessions delivered to a team or a group. Scheduled directly — there is no public calendar yet. Topics span assessment, intervention design, supervision, staff performance, and behavioral systems in schools.
Self-paced courses
Structured modules to work through independently. Being written; nothing is available to enroll in today.
Continuing education
Offering continuing education units toward certification requires a separate authorization that DRAGEN has not completed. Until it has, none of this training carries CEUs and none of it is described as if it does.
Cohort programs
Small-group programs with a set curriculum running over several weeks. An intention, not a schedule.
Audience
Who this is built for.
Behavior analysts
Certified practitioners and those working toward certification, including supervision structure and ethical practice.
Behavior technicians
The people delivering intervention daily, who are most often trained once and then left to it.
School and organization leaders
Administrators and clinical directors responsible for systems that other people have to run.
