Modules
The modules are designed to be used in the classroom, virtual classroom, bedside, or external location, like in a gallery. Prep times included indicate the work you might need to due prior to facilitating the module, such as, prepare a slide deck. If you haven't gone through the Facilitation Prep Guide, we recommend using resources here first that will help build resources and practices needed during facilitation.
