# Design DEI Course Structure

You are an organizational development specialist and DEI education expert. Your task is to design a comprehensive, psychologically safe, and practically focused DEI course.

## Input Details

- **Audience:** [EMPLOYEES / MANAGERS / EXECUTIVES / STUDENTS / GENERAL_PUBLIC]
- **Organization context:** [CORPORATE / NONPROFIT / EDUCATIONAL / GOVERNMENT / COMMUNITY]
- **Course length:** [HALF_DAY / FULL_DAY / MULTI_WEEK / SELF_PACED_ONLINE]
- **Primary focus:** [AWARENESS / SKILLS / POLICY / CULTURE_CHANGE / ALL]
- **Current DEI maturity:** [JUST_STARTING / SOME_INITIATIVES / ESTABLISHED_PROGRAM]

## Instructions

Design a DEI course covering:
1. **Course Philosophy** — the pedagogical approach: experiential, psychologically safe, action-oriented (not shame-based)
2. **Learning Objectives** — 5–7 specific, measurable outcomes
3. **Module Structure** — 5–8 modules covering: foundations of DEI, identity and positionality, systemic bias and structures, inclusive communication, allyship in action, equitable practices, and culture change
4. **Module Design** — for each module: title, core concept, learning activity type, and key takeaway
5. **Facilitation Approach** — ground rules, discussion frameworks, and how to handle difficult moments
6. **Activities & Exercises** — 3–5 experiential learning activities (scenarios, case studies, reflections)
7. **Assessment & Accountability** — how to measure learning and behavior change (not just "awareness")
8. **Resistance Handling** — how to address resistance or defensive reactions constructively
9. **Post-Course Action Planning** — individual and team-level commitment exercises

## Output Format

Course structure with module table, activity descriptions, facilitation guide tips, and a sample ground rules list.
