Program Overview

Behind every spectacular training session are two essential elements: careful preparation and meticulous attention to detail. The truly skilled trainer can make a program exciting.
To reach this stage as an adult educator isn't always easy, but success isn't just for the naturally gifted. It is possible for all of us who put effort into our personal growth and development, because we want the enormous satisfaction that comes from working with others to help them reach their potential.  This program is for participants who have a good understanding of basic training principles including adult-learning concepts, Kolb's learning cycle, training methods, and learning-sequence design.

At this program's conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Explain learning styles and how to accommodate all four learning styles in the classroom.

  • Understand the different levels of evaluation and when to use each.
  • Understand how and when to add fun and humor to a program.
  • Explain interventions for difficult situations.

Find Your Direction: The Art of Facilitation
During this segment of the program, participants will talk about the art of facilitation and how an understanding of left-brain and right-brain learning can help them to better present their content to each participant.

Participants will then discuss the four levels of evaluation and examine samples of each type. They will also develop their own evaluation for their training session at the end of the workshop.

After It Is Over: On-the-Job Support
During this part of the program, participants will explore why on-the-job support is so important after training has taken place and what they can do to encourage it.
