Reviewing Skills and Tools for Trainers

The training workshop described below has already taken place. It is left here as an example of a workshop design that may be repeated in the future. If you would like to host or attend this kind of workshop (or are just curious about what happened) send a message to roger@reviewing.co.uk

Reviewing Workshop       Transfer Workshop

Reviewing Skills and Tools for Trainers The first 2-day workshop is about improving the quality of the whole training experience - both during training exercises and during reviews. You will learn how to maintain full involvement throughout the learning process - ensuring that learners are alert, motivated and curious. You will learn a number of methods for keeping the connections alive between doing and thinking - rather than just alternating between these two modes of learning. Whatever the purpose of your training, a skilled and confident approach to reviewing will help to generate a highly productive climate for learning. Topics include: how to use reviewing to accelerate group development how to fire up the process of experiential learning how to raise the quality of communication within a group how to keep reviews alive and moving, how to deal with resistances to learning. how to achieve specific objectives how to develop your skills in active reviewing You will be able to try out a stimulating range of reviewing methods using natural objects, visual aids, stories, replays and other techniques from creative arts, drama, counselling and group work. This workshop will extend your toolkit and develop your skills in using these versatile reviewing tools. Programme Details: Reviewing Skills and Tools for Trainers

How to Transfer Learning and give your training lasting impact The second 2-day workshop This workshop is well supported by recent theories about the transfer of learning, but the priority is a practical one - to develop and extend your reviewing toolkit. It is about how to add to the impact of experience-based learning - so that both the experiences and the learning will live on after the event. You will discover what you can do throughout training events to ensure that they have a longer-term impact. Topics include: how to help learners develop strong links between their course experiences and their everyday world. how to organise reviews towards the end of a training course when there is 'too much' to review. how to integrate appraisal, feedback, learning plans, action plans and evaluation into your programme. how to review a lot in a short time how to help learners test their plans how to evaluate the training you provide how to review your own experiences of facilitating reviews. how to develop strategies for your own continuing professional development in reviewing skills. This second workshop is suitable for experienced reviewers or for people who have attended other workshops provided by Roger Greenaway.   Programme details: How to Transfer Learning
