Liven up training with new, dynamic strategies for active
participation
101 More Ways to Make Training Active brings together a
rich, comprehensive collection of training strategies and
activities into one easy source. Designed for quick navigation,
this useful guide is packed with classroom-ready ideas and twenty
‘how-to’ lists to enliven any learning situation, helping you
better engage their trainees and encourage active participation.
These techniques are applicable to almost any topic and learning
objective, and provide guidance on every aspect of Active Training
design and delivery. Each strategy includes recommendations for
length of time, number of participants, and other conditional
factors, plus a case study that illustrates the strategy in action.
Coverage includes topics like communication, change management,
coaching, feedback, conflict, diversity, customer service, and
more, providing a complete reference for facilitating active
training sessions.
Active Training requires the participants to do most of the
work. They use their brains, and apply what they’ve learned. The
environment is fast-paced, fun, supportive, and personally
engaging, and encourages participants to figure things out for
themselves. This book contains specific, practical strategies for
bringing this environment to any training session.
* Learn new strategies for stimulating active discussion
* Inspire creativity, innovation, and collaboration
* Teach better decision making, leadership, and
self-management
* Make lectures active to encourage more participation
Active training makes training sessions more enjoyable, and as
participants invest themselves more heavily into the material,
outcomes begin to improve dramatically. This dynamic atmosphere
doesn’t happen by accident; the activities and the course itself
must be designed and delivered in a way that encourages active
participation. In 101 More Ways to Make Training Active, you
get a toolkit of creative, challenging, and fun ways to make it
happen.
