Graham Kovash

Dynamic and results-driven Instructional Designer with a proven track record in crafting compelling and effective learning experiences. Using the ADDIE process, I analyze learner needs, design impactful curricula, develop engaging content, implement training programs, and evaluate their effectiveness. My approach ensures that each phase of instructional design is tailored to meet specific learning objectives and organizational goals.

Applying Bloom's Taxonomy, I create clear and measurable learning objectives that promote critical thinking and deeper comprehension. By focusing on higher-order skills, I empower learners to apply their knowledge in practical contexts, fostering both retention and application.

I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with subject matter experts and stakeholders to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality. My commitment to understanding the "What's In It For Me" (WIIFM) aspect of training ensures that learning solutions resonate with participants, driving engagement and motivation.

Passionate about delivering transformative learning experiences, I am dedicated to leveraging instructional design best practices to create impactful training programs that align with organizational strategies and enhance learner outcomes.

• Choctaw Kaizen - Yellow belt
• As Senior Instructional Designer, I created a rewards program that offered tickets into a drawing for each closed project or shout out on Achievers (associate recognition software). I also included other department initiatives for more opportunities to earn tickets. This includes things like big training events that needs additional volunteers, etc...
• I was employed at the Choctaw Nation for 10 and a half years.

• I hosted think and learn sessions every team meeting where associates took turns teaching something new they learned that week. If no one had anything, we did peer reviews instead. Our peer reviews consisted of a team memeber bringing one of their projects to showcase for everyone. The goal was to look for errors, quality of life improvements or design improvements.
