Module 5 Best Practices for Trainers
Module Goals • To gain confidence by learning innovative training techniques, addressing concerns about public speaking, and learning new training principles • To become more effective trainers through practice sessions and a review of best practices
When you think about standing in front of a group of people to speak, what are some of your concerns?
Best Practices • Planning and Preparation • Opening and Introduction • During your Training • Closing Remarks and Evaluation
Conduct a needs assessment • Why are you doing this training? • Why are you doing this training NOW? • What are the desired goals or outcomes of the training? • Is attendance at this training mandatory?
Don’t forget to ask… • Substantive Questions • What topic needs to be covered? • Will there be time for a question and answer period? • How many people will make up my audience? • What is the mix of people in the room? Businesses? People with disabilities? Employers?
Don’t forget to ask… • Logistical Questions • Who will be providing the equipment? • How do I access the site? • Is there parking? • Do I have to pay for parking? • Will you feed me? • How should I dress?
…and what about DURING your presentation? • Audience members…come in many “shapes and sizes” • PowerPoint presentations (or alternate format) • Using a Flip Chart • Model disability etiquette
Homework • Prepare a 10 minute presentation from the manual • Any topic from the manual • Include a brief introduction, presentation of topic, and a closing • Prepare to provide and receive feedback from peers
