A is for Analysis

6/27/2025

You’ve heard us say that ADDIE is D3’s macro model, and even though it’s been around for a while, it continues to prove its value. In fact, the A in ADDIE (A for Analysis) is alive and well, and accounts for about 25% of our total business!

​Here’s how D3 serves clients via Analysis:
​
  • ACADEMIA: Our June featured team member, Zachary Smith, turns analysis into real dollars for universities.          He analyzes social work curricula to determine whether they meet the criteria for Title IV‑E reimbursement eligibility. Using Kay Casey's proprietary set of tools and methods, Zachary ensures that universities are not only compliant but also receiving the funding they’re entitled to. This means assessing course syllabi, learning objectives, and occasionally course content to make sure reimbursement amounts are accurate. You can learn more about Kay and her work here.


  • GOVERNMENT: We also provide assessment, monitoring, and evaluation services to a Department of Defense organization to ensure it is meeting its responsibilities to the U.S. government. D3 analyzes monthly reports from up to 30 staff members, tracking training activities, attendee demographics, event locations, and subject matter.  We also analyze Level 1, 2, and 3 data to measure learning impacts, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative findings. These reports are delivered upstream to the highest levels of DoD leadership.


  • NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS: NPOs frequently engage D3 to analyze and evaluate their programs, and to report findings back to their grantors, ensuring that funds are being used responsibly and effectively.


So if this kind of work excites you, maybe it’s time to give the “A” in ADDIE a closer look! At D3, there’s always more analysis to be done, and more impact to be made.

Presenting with Purpose: 2025 Title IV-E Round Table

6/2/2025

0 Comments

 
D3 Learning had a fantastic time attending the 2025 Title IV-E Round Table Conference hosted at the University of Alabama last week. Representing D3 was Zachary Smith, eLearning Developer and Data Analyst, who joined longtime D3 training partner Kay Casey of Kay Casey Consulting to present two of D3’s eLearning courses: Basics of Title IV-E and Family First Prevention Services Act. The event offered a great opportunity for Zachary to connect with existing clients and network with state agencies and universities interested in expanding their training solutions through D3 and KCC.

D3 and KCC’s partnership goes back nearly three decades to 1996, when Kay was working with the State of Florida to develop services for children and families. At the time, she invited Teresa to leave her (last) full-time job and help build a new in-service and pre-service curriculum for Florida’s direct care workers. Teresa jumped at the chance and never looked back! Through the years, Teresa and Kay have collaborated on numerous learning solutions to universities and state agencies who provide services to individuals and families. 

Over the last two years, Zachary has begun working closely with Kay as her business has grown. She has provided an informal apprenticeship to him, where he has learned the basics of Title IV-E, and how to analyze the curricula of numerous universities to assess their Title IV-E reimbursements. As his knowledge has grown, he also created two eLearning courses and plans to continue providing more about Title IV-E, allowing Kay to focus more on the individualized nuances of Title IV-E in her client consultations while learners get their basic education through the eLearning courses.
This partnership is just one example of D3’s investment in long-standing relationships that enrich both parties and provide ongoing stability and reliability for both consultants and their clients.
