TRAIN THE TRAINER: FACILITATION SKILLS
AUDIENCE
This workshop is designed for trainers who are training newly hired staff (entry level) and would like hands on knowledge of design and delivery of training.
ACHIEVABLES
Training is an essential element of development in any organization. Being knowledgeable and continuing to learn throughout your career can make you a very valuable asset. We also know that training and orientation for someone new in their job is a key factor in retention.
This two-day workshop is designed for a new trainer who wants to start developing training programs that are meaningful, practical, and will benefit both trainees and the organizations they work for.
This two day workshop will help participants learn how to:

OUTLINE
Program Design
This session will explore some things that need to be considered before committing to developing a training program.
Identifying Needs
Participants will look at how to determine what training is really necessary using the ICE method: Isolate, Consult, and Evaluate.
The Training Model
Next, we will explore a seven-step Instructional Systems Design Model. We will focus on adult learning and some basic principles that apply to developing training.
The Program’s Basic Outline
Participants will learn how to create the basic outline for the program by writing objectives for knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs).
Researching and Developing Content
Now that we have a framework for the design of the program, participants will learn where to find the content. We will also talk about fads and copyright issues.
Pre-Assignments in Training
This session will explore the value of pre-assignments and pre determination of the trainee’s requirements.
Choosing Openings and Energizers
We will talk about how to start off your training, different types of games, and some ways to make sure your game doesn’t fall flat.
Evaluation Strategies
Of course, it’s hard to know what you want to teach without knowing how you’ll know you’ve taught it! This session will look at evaluation methods and how they tie into learning objectives.
Training Instruments, Assessments, and Tools
Pre-designed testing tools can help with many training topics. This session will discuss how to make the most of these tools.
Creating Supporting Materials
Most trainers prepare notes for themselves to use as they are teaching their program. This session will look at some other materials that can enhance your training program, including student guides, handouts, and electronic slides.
Testing the Program
Participants will discuss ways to test their training program before they deliver it.
Creating Proposals
Participants will learn how to organize and write a training proposal, and then they will apply the knowledge to a case study.
Pulling it all Together
To conclude the course, participants will work together to create individual action plans.
