Train the Trainer Workshop

The workshop contains two parts: the learning process and the teaching process.

The Learning Process

This part of the workshop focuses on understanding how people learn. Participants will be

introduced to current theories of learning from the area of educational psychology. The

knowledge learned will help instructors to create a lecture or training session in order to

increase understanding and retention of the material.

• The Self-Concept - looks at the inseparable connection between experience and

learning and how both shape a personʼs identity.

• The Learning Principles - looks at the principles that have a direct influence on

the effectiveness of learning. This section focuses on how an individual's

perception of external stimuli influences insight and motivation. This section

also looks into the factors that effect perception, and thus what we do

and donʼt learn.

• The Learning Cycle - delves into the cyclical process of learning by focusing

on two aspects. First, the different depths of learning, and second, the

different learning styles of people

• Retention - looks at how memory works; what

forgetting actually is; and how to increase

retention of material

The Teaching Process

This second part of the workshop focuses specifically on the process of teaching. The aim

is to give participants a clear, concise and concrete way of teaching. This part takes the

theory presented in the first part and translates it into practical tools. Participants can

focus on doing the teaching and less of the how to do the teaching.

• Principles of Teaching - looks at the 5-key principals that instructors should build into

their lectures or training sessions.

• The Lecture Outline - participants receive a step-by-step template of how to organize,

structure and build a teaching session or lecture, taking into account material learned in the first part of the workshop.

• Suggestive Teaching - teaches how to design specific questions that address the

different depths of learning (from Part I - The Learning Cycle)
