about the SOLA course curricula

Participation Requirements

Each course includes mandatory live lectures and activities following completion of weekly pre-recorded video modules and pre-discussion coursework. This format allows learners to engage with facilitators and peers locally and globally, ask questions, share ideas, and explore how to apply concepts to their work.

All live sessions are held via Zoom. (See Privacy and Data)

Accommodations

Inclusion and belonging are important to us. All live discussions will include English subtitles unless another language is otherwise noted.

If you require an accommodation to facilitate your participation in one of our courses, please let us know. We will work with you to assess how to make the course accessible to you.

Certification

Certificates will be issued by Safe Organizations, LLC to all learners who have successfully completed the course. To receive a certificate, all enrolled learners must complete the learning modules, attend live sessions, and complete required coursework.

Code of Ethics

All enrolled learners are required to read and acknowledge the Code of Ethics prior to the start of the course.

Our Approach to Learning

On-demand Videos and Live Discussions

We believe that learning and skill-building is a marathon, not a sprint. This is the reason that we've adopted a hybrid learning model and set a pace that is reasonable for learners to internalize course content.

Research shows that adult learning is optimal when it is experiential. Experiential learning means that both our pre-recorded modules and live discussions* will introduce experiences for learners to actively engage with the course material and positively influence the learning process.

In contrast with a traditional academic approach that uses rote memorization or "training" to internalize or share information, experiential models of learning focus on real or simulated situations applicable to the learners' work.

Course Facilitators
Course facilitators will engage with learners to:

  1. Promote critical thinking
  2. Coach learners through questions and reflections
  3. Support learners in the application of course concepts to their work
  4. Prompt engagement and participation to create a rich, inclusive, and safe learning environment

Learning Styles
Everyone learns differently. We endeavor to create a dynamic experience so that all types of learners feel engaged and fulfilled. For this reason, our live discussions will offer myriad ways that learners can participant and contribute. If you have a preferred method for participating in live discussions, please let us know!

*Live discussions will be lead by a facilitator to facilitate or enable learning and critical thinking.

Privacy and Data

At Safe Organizations, we value privacy and believe every person has the right to determine how their sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII) are managed. For this reason, we will never share, sell, or distribute any information you share with us unless required by law.

Safe Organizations uses Zoom for all live discussions. We will not enable the AI Companion service for any scheduled live sessions nor share any transcripts. Zoom does not use any audio, video, chat, screen sharing, attachments or other communications-like content (such as poll results, whiteboard and reactions) to train Zoom's or third-party Al models.

To further protect privacy, learners may join live discussions using their preferred name—first name, surname, nickname, initials, or other.
