Training from the Back of the Room

Are you a teacher, trainer or coach who has been looking for ways to make your curriculum more engaging, hands-on, actionable or fun? Do you struggle to create curriculum that encourages your students to learn collaboratively and practice what they've learned? If you answered yes to either of these questions, this "Training from the BACK of the Room" Practitioner course is for you! Based on the best-selling books by Sharon Bowman, the curriculum for this course will lead you through 6 Learning Principles that have their roots in cognitive neuroscience. These Learning Principles will help you engage your audience and help them retain what you've taught them. You will experience dozens of tools that will allow you to apply these learning principles in your own learning environments and you will leave with an extremely full "tool bag" of tools that you can take back and start applying immediately!

In this hands-on course, you'll explore the 4-step process of lesson design, which is based on Accelerated Learning, and learn how to structure your curriculum to engage your learners every step of the way.

Teachers and trainers from new to experienced will walk away with ideas they can implement right away. Just take a look at what some of our attendees have said about this course:

• "TBR will completely change how I create presentations. I am confident I can now develop meaningful and engaging materials that will be remembered by learners. Fantastic training!"
• "I learned a lot of strategies that will allow me to be a more effective presenter who engages participants in ways they'll benefit from and enjoy."
• "This training is extremely useful and applicable, regardless of what your profession is! It truly teaches you how to make your content engaging, applicable and audience- friendly!"

What's included:

• 2 fun-filled days of collaborating with attendees from all over the country and beyond
• Sharon Bowman's best selling books "Training from the BACK of the Room" and "Using Brain Science to Make Training Stick"

Learning Outcomes of Training from the BACK of the Room!

(TBR) Training from the BACK of the Room! is based on our current understanding cognitive science and how we can make learning stick. It is very interactive and by the end of a 2-day TBR class, attendees will be able to:

• Apply 6 learning principles based on current brain research every time you train, regardless of the complexity of the topic, size of group, or level of learners.
• Demonstrate a variety of brain science elements important to human learning, using your own training topics.
• Increase learners’ attention, retention and engagement with learning activities that engage the whole brain.
• Use the “4Cs Map” as a training design and delivery model for any brain-based instruction.
• Choose from dozens of brain-based learning activities for all topics and all instructional formats: classroom, e-learning, one-on-one, small or large group training.
• Access a collection of new brain science resources to enhance your training skills, whether you teach in real or virtual classrooms.
• Create training classes and programs that combine your own topic and materials with the brain-based concepts and strategies from the program.
• Explain to colleagues your understanding of the physiology of the human brain as it applies to learning, training and memory.
• Become a member of an ongoing “mastermind” group of trainers who have as their community commonality brain science, the 4Cs map and a passion for learning excellence.
