Training for Trainers, Teachers and Faculty

Do you design and deliver live or virtual training? If you do, we invite you to join us for this three session, results-oriented workshop that will change the way you design and facilitate live or virtual learning. College faculty, occupational health and safety trainers, diversity and inclusion facilitators, learning and development specialists and many others have found this workshop has helped them:

  • Design new training and/or ‘tweak’ existing training to make it more engaging and effective both in the classroom and online

  • Develop a complete training package including learning objectives and workshop agenda, speaker’s notes, effective audio visuals (meaning minimal slides), workbooks, and interesting/relevant participant discussions and exercises

  • Deliver great lectures and develop skill in using new technologies that help bring your lectures to life

  • Lead interesting and productive discussions in the classroom and online

  • Respond diplomatically to common challenging classroom dynamics

  • Verify the effectiveness of training through quizzes, hands-on exercises and other evaluation tools

  • Develop greater confidence as an educator

Use active learning to boost engagement and learning retention - How and when can we use discussions and learning activities to refresh attention spans and improve retention?

Design discussions, practice sessions, learning activities that help people learn - How can we incorporate active learning principles in a way that helps us teach better, more efficiently and more effectively?

Respond to challenging classroom dynamics diplomatically - What behaviours are acceptable and which ones are problematic in a classroom setting? How can we prevent common and challenging classroom dynamics? How should we respond to common challenging dynamics that occur?
