Why spend two intensive days improving your reviewing skills?
|
Outdoor TrainingOutdoor activities and the natural outdoor environment provide interesting opportunities (and problems) for reviewing - whether reviewing on the spot or back inside. This particular trainer-training event is designed for trainers working outdoors for all or part of a training programme. Much of Roger's training, trainer-training and research has been in the field of outdoor management development. About the presenterRoger Greenaway promotes active reviewing - an approach to facilitation that keeps learners in touch with their experiences, that keeps facilitators in touch with learners, and that improves the quality of communication and learning. Roger provides trainer-training in reviewing skills in the UK and around the world. These events draw on Roger's extensive background in experience-based training, trainer-training and research. Roger is the author of several articles and books about reviewing. He also publishes the email newsletter Active Reviewing Tips. Events for corporate trainers draw on Roger's insights from his doctorate ''Powerful Learning Experiences in Management Learning and Development'' (1995). Events for adventure educators draw on Roger's handbooks as well as on his review of research ''Why Adventure?'' (1995) co-authored with John Barrett. See the Guide to Active Reviewing at http://reviewing.co.uk for testimonials, articles, links and resources that will help you to develop your reviewing skills. |
What kind of reviewing?Flipcharts and questioning skills are central features of many reviewing styles, but many learners will benefit from taking part in more varied and dynamic approaches. Ideally, reviewing is at least as engaging as the activity being reviewed. See the programme below to discover the range of reviewing styles that are included in this two day event. |
