A space for us to learn together? We have done our best to create a informative session with opportunity for dialogue We ask that you Hold the Basic Assumption Maintain curiosity, respect, courtesy Maintain confidentiality Share their questions
The Basic Assumption We believe that everyone participating in activities here is intelligent, capable, cares about doing their best, and wants to improve.
DASH Foundation Behaviorally anchored rating scale (BARS) Criterion-referenced testing approach (CRT) Independent of any single debriefing approach Based on literature review and primary research

Element 1 Establishes an engaging learning environment. Clarifies course objectives, environment, roles, and expectations. Establishes a fiction contract with participants. Attends to logistical details. Conveys a commitment to respecting learners and understanding their perspective.
Element Understanding Elements & A high level concept related to effective debriefing Components and aspects of the Element Behavioral Markers Example observable debriefing behaviors
Element 2 - Maintains an engaging learning environment. Clarifies debriefing objectives, roles, and expectations. Helps participants engage in a limited-realism context. Conveys respect for learners and concern for their psychological safety.
Element 3 - Structures debriefing in an organized way. Encourages trainees to express their reactions and, if needed, orients them to what happened in the simulation, near the beginning. Guides analysis of the trainees performance during the middle of the session Collaborates with participants to summarize learning from the session near the end
Element 4 Provokes engaging discussions. Uses concrete examples and outcomes as the basis for inquiry and discussion. Reveals own reasoning and judgments. Facilitates discussion through verbal and non-verbal techniques. Uses video, replay, and review devices (if available). Recognizes and manages the upset participant.
Element 5 - Identifies and explores performance gaps. Provides feedback on performance. Explores the source of the performance gap.
Element 6 Helps trainees achieve or sustain good future performance. Helps close the performance gap through discussion and teaching. Demonstrates firm grasp of the subject. Meets the important objectives of the session.
Novice to Expert using the DASH Elements of the DASH are chunked by level of expertise Novice (Novices can be scaffolded on Elements 1 and 3 this with scripting or cognitive aid) 1. Establishes an engaging learning environment 3. Structures debriefing in an organized way 6. Helps trainees achieve or sustain good future performance Advanced Beginner/Intermediate 4. Provokes engaging discussions 5. Identifies and explores performance gaps Competent/ Expert 2. Maintains and engaging environment for learning Important Note: This Novice to Expert suggested progression is a work-inprogress.
