3T: TRAIN-THE-TRAINER COURSES
Train-the-trainer sessions are designed to prepare designated HR personnel, facilitators, and trainers to present our licensed content effectively, respond to participant questions and lead activities that reinforce learning.
They also direct participants to supplementary resources and reference materials. Instructors learn to lead discussions, listen effectively, make accurate observations and help participants to link training to their jobs. They learn to maintain eye contact, maintain a positive attitude, speak in a clear voice, gesture appropriately, and maintain interest and dispel confusion.
LEARNING MAPS
Additional Information
Most organizational training classes use the traditional 'death' by overhead approach to training which involves participants observing slides, taking notes and having a limited number of times they actually interact with each other and the course facilitator.
We utilize learning maps to transfer the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. A ‘learning map’ is a graphic representation of the information to be taught in a workshop. It is designed to allow the participants to interact in a consistent and structured method that enhances the effective assimilation of the designed learning points.
The learning map displays major learning concepts on a two dimensional grid / map that allows participants to better understand the intended learning and how to apply it to their specific situations through discussions and interactions with peers. Some studies have explored the best ways to increase the level of retention from things we have been taught.
The results have indicated the following factors are part of why simply going through training with PowerPoint may not be the most effective way to retain what we are taught. One study found we retain:
- 10% Of What We Read - Once
- 20% Of What We Hear
- 50% Of What We See & Hear
- 70% Of What We Say
- 90% Of What We, See, Say and Do!
