What's in Every CRN Lesson?
Every lesson meets one rigorous, accreditation-aligned standard. Read it below, or take the one-page reference with you.
The standard
Every Lesson Clears the Same Bar
A chaplain or a partner organization can trust that the bar below is the bar every CRN lesson clears. We build each lesson from cited research, structure it by recognized learning domains, and have a subject-matter expert review and sign off before it publishes.
Part one
What You Get in Every Lesson
Intro video
A short opening video frames the lesson before you begin.
Dynamic learning outcomes
Outcomes personalize to your level, from lay through doctoral. You see only what fits where you serve.
The five holistic dimensions
CRN addresses the whole person, not one dimension in isolation.
A modeled chaplain encounter on video
You watch a chaplain walk through the issue with a person: the presence, the questions, the response, the repair. You see the encounter, not just read about it.
A downloadable takeaway
A practical handout you keep and use in the field.
Part two
How We Build to the Standard
A required evaluation and a CEU certificate
Finish the evaluation and earn a 0.1 CEU certificate.
Cited research and further study
Every claim traces to a source. You can go deeper whenever you want to.
Multi-faith and pluralistic care
Lessons elaborate across faith traditions and the unaffiliated, for service on an interdisciplinary team in a pluralistic setting.
Field-specific scenes
Scenarios are built for your context across prevention, intervention, and postvention. A healthcare lesson and a public-safety lesson share almost nothing on the surface.
Clear description
You know the purpose and the payoff up front.
Behind the standard
The CRN Lesson Standard, in Five Commitments
Grounded in evidence
Built from cited sources and a frozen research brief, never from memory.
Structured by recognized learning domains
Organized on the Operational Care Framework (OCF) chaplaincy competency domains and a four-level instructional design outline.
Expert-reviewed before publish
A subject-matter expert reviews accuracy and scope, then signs off. Trauma and faith-specific content gets specialist validation.
Mapped to accreditation
Aligned to IACET, DEAC, and ATS/TRACS standards, plus the CPEI CPE ladder, on the first pass.
Ready to teach
Every lesson carries a facilitator plan, so lessons combine into courses without rework.
