Job Aid
People managers who need support to lead engaging, trust-building one-on-one conversations.
Audience - People managers who need support to lead engaging, trust-building one-on-one conversations.
Problem - They’re unsure how to address performance issues in a way that builds trust and accountability. As a result, employee morale is slipping, engagement is low, and turnover is on the rise.
Goal - To increase the quality and consistency of feedback across teams by offering phrase suggestions grounded in coaching best practices.
My Role - Designed and developed the job aid based on leadership training content. (See Featured Project)
Tools/Methods - I brainstormed some design ideas using Canva's Magic Studio (AI). After selecting the best fit for the purpose, I created the document from scratch in Canva.
Outcome - Leaders use the guide to model consistent, constructive communication, leading to improved team dynamics.
Custom GPT
A GPT model specifically designed to be a help professionals study for the BCBA certification exam
Audience - Aspiring Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) preparing for their certification exam
Problem - Traditional study tools often lack interactivity and fail to adapt to learners’ needs
Goal - The GPT’s goal is to bring structure, variety, and fun to BCBA exam prep through conversational guidance, gamified learning, and curated content
My Role - Designed, developed, and refined a custom GPT to support BCBA exam prep through tutoring, gamification, and multimedia integration
Tools/Methods - Using Open AI's Chat GPT, I customized a GPT for my goal. I used comprehensive, pre-made learning documents from which the GPT model could reference and derive valid information. Then, I created default prompts and gave the model specific directives about how to interact with learners, which includes playing study games with learners.
Outcome - Learners benefit from multiple modes of engagement, which supports different learning styles and promotes deeper understanding.
​Other Applications - A custom GPT can be created for integration into other programs, such as Storyline, to create more dynamic learning experiences.
Clean Presentations
A training for paraprofessionals supporting student behavior using effective plans and data tools
Audience - Paraprofessionals working with diverse students in a school district
Problem - Inconsistencies in the application of behavior plans and the collection of data across the district led to student performance/behavioral issues and increased support needs for staff.
Goal - To train classroom staff on the implementation of student behavior intervention plans and common methods/tools to use for data collection.
My Role - Designed and developed the presentation, activities, and handouts for the training of approximately 100+ staff members. Facilitated the training event along with two other team members.
Methods - After my team and I conducted an analysis of staff needs across the district via interviews and direct observation, I designed and developed this presentation using Google Slides, Google Forms (for feedback), and Google Docs (for handouts). I incorporated elements from Gagne's 9 events to ensure best practices for adult learning. Various forms of media were included as well as hands on activities so learners could practice the skills.
Lastly, I provided a feedback form for the audience to provide data for an analysis of the effectiveness of the training.
Outcome - Paraprofessionals got access to important information most did not previously have. Thereafter, they were better equipped to effectively manage, and track student behavior needs. This led to a decrease in staff-student altercations, decrease need for supplemental staffing, and improved student outcomes.
A Little About Me
Hi, I’m Elisabeth—a Denton-based learning designer with a background in behavior analysis, education, and human-centered problem solving. For more than a decade, I’ve focused on helping people grow, through designing behavior plans, leading classrooms, and now, creating engaging, performance-driven learning experiences. I also like to stay ahead of the curve by using AI tools to streamline workflows, spark creative solutions, and build smarter, more adaptive learning experiences.
