Designing Learning that Lasts
With extensive experience in curriculum development, Realize Resources creates curricula and effective learning tools that build sustainable skills, knowledge, and systems. We develop curricula geared to frontline staff, community members, mid-level clinicians, managers, executive directors and high-level governmental officials.
Our curriculum development experts work alongside your content-area experts to design user-friendly curricula that are rooted in principles of adult learning.
Realize Resources can help you successfully pilot the new curricula via our train the trainer workshops and consultative services which could include coaching or co-facilitation support. Through development of formalized curricula your organization will be better equipped to:
- Engage participants in learning
- Respond to the needs of your organization resulting in higher quality services
- Build training participant skill and knowledge
- Generate productive discussions
- Ensure delivery of consistent and accurate information
- Create long-term learning resources
- Support facilitators of the curricula

Sample Publications include:
Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Office of HIV/AIDS Core Curricula: Realize Resources has developed 7 curricula so that entering and seasoned HIV service providers would have the requisite information, skills and practice to provide accurate, up-to-date information using a client-centered harm reduction framework. In order to meet the linguistic needs select curricula were tailored, adapted and translated to Portuguese and Spanish. To view descriptions of the curricula click here.
Connecting to Care Curricula: Realize Resources designed Spanish and English curricula and accompanying training of trainer curricula designed to help HIV service providers across the United States and Puerto Rico to tailor and adapt interventions to link rural, migrant, and/or formerly incarcerated people living with HIV with the healthcare delivery system.
Basic Care Package: Realize Resources led development of a government recognized standard curriculum focused on developing a cadre of well-trained facilitators of support groups for newly diagnosed people living with HIV who are not yet eligible for anti-retroviral treatment.
PEER Center Toolkit : In conjunction with the Health and Disabilities Working Group at Boston University, Realize Resources worked in partnership with 3 national education and training sites in the creation of a peer program toolkit to help organizations launch or strengthen peer programs already in place.
