Introduction :
Getting Started
Welcome to the Train-the-Trainer workshop. Whether you are preparing to be a professional trainer, or you are someone who does a bit of training as a part of their job, you’ll want to be prepared for the training that you do. This workshop will give all types of training tools to help create and deliver engaging, compelling workshops that will encourage trainees to come back for more.
Module 1 :
Understanding Training and Facilitation
Depending on the need of your participants, you may be called to provide training, or facilitate a discussion of ideas. This module will help to determine which approach you need in a particular situation.
Module 2 :
Gathering Materials
A major aspect of your training is recognizing what your participants need, want, and expect, and then responding accordingly. This module will explore some ways to identify participants’ needs and adjust your material accordingly.
Module 3 :
Creating a Lesson Plan
A lesson plan is an outline that can both keep you on track and give you plenty of options. While the lesson plan is a guide for how you will manage a particular workshop, a well-designed lesson plan will also allow you to really enhance your training.
Module 4 :
Choosing Activities
For many people, it is by doing that understanding comes. People come to training expecting to learn, and one of the best ways that you can help them to do that is to develop activities that support the learning objectives and allow for some kind of engaging action and development.
Module 5 :
Preparing for the Workshop
Being ready is the sign of a competent trainer. Not being prepared can derail your training before it’s even started. Follow the tips and techniques in this module to help you deliver effective and memorable training.
Module 6 :
Getting Off on the Right Foot
Get the session started right by being ready to welcome people as they arrive. They are just as curious about you as you are about them. They also will warm up to you if you are ready and welcoming each one as they arrive.
Module 7 :
Delivery Tips and Tricks
In instructor-led, participant-centered learning, we are always looking for ways that participants can be successful through a period of self-discovery. This does not mean that we never lecture; sometimes, short lectures are the most effective way to deliver new content. What it does mean is that lecture is the last choice, after we have considered a variety or alternative methods.
Module 8 :
Keeping it Interactive
Participant-centered training is led by a trainer, but sometimes you may almost wonder why you are there because things are going so well! This is a sign of excellent program design, and that participants are taking responsibility for their learning. Give yourself credit for setting up an excellent workshop, since the learning that is going on actually wouldn’t be taking place without you. This module will give you some ways to create one of those energetic, interactive workshops.
Module 9 :
Dealing With Difficult Participants
Training involves people who, as we have already discovered, come to class with different reasons and motivations. Prepare for behaviors that can derail your training plan, so that you can continue to deliver effective training. Understand, too, that these difficult behaviors can come from a variety of learner types and people. Practically anyone can have an off day and be considered difficult, even us trainers! Frustration, boredom, or personality characteristics can stretch you beyond the scope of training that you deliver.
Module 10 :
Tackling Tough Topics
Some elements of training are difficult, but you’ll get through them because you are a professional. You may be asked to facilitate a subject that is very sensitive, or could find yourself part way through a presentation and learn that you have struck a nerve and will need to adjust your material.
Conclusion :
Wrapping Up
Although this workshop is coming to a close, we hope that your journey to improve your skills as a trainer is just beginning. We wish you the best of luck on the rest of your travels!
