Adapting (inside left)

You may be a professional educator, your supervisor may have just told you to deliver a training package in your organization, or you may have volunteered to put on a clinic for coaches in your local sports association. Adapt an existing training package to suit your needs. Choose good activities (7) and learning aids (8) for the audience (1), and learn to manage your time. Customize the training package to allow you to become a more effective trainer.

Preparing to Deliver (inside middle)

Adult education instructors often face similar challenges. They deal with issues such as developing suitable activities (7), choosing the most appropriate room setup (9), using a flip chart (13) effectively, or preparing an opener (18) suitable for the group. Even the most complete training package depends on a suitable training venue and your ability as an instructor to maximize the use of equipment and learning aids. Learn how to best prepare for the training event.

Delivering (inside right)

For learning to be effective, you as the instructor must create a relaxed, positive and effective learning environment for the training participants. Ideally, you achieve this atmosphere in the first hour (17) but efforts must continue all day in the way you present material (19), how you involve learners in learning activities (7), and how you choose the learning loop (6). Enjoy your session, and remember: if you are having fun, then everyone else is, too!
