Training
of Trainers Workshop (T.O.T.)
Description
In this 12-hr. workshop, trainers will learn to use the principles of
participatory adult education to train tutors, analyze and apply theory,
and practice teach a workshop segment. This workshop is for trainers
who already know the content of their tutor training program and want
to learn how to train following these participatory principles. We will
use sequential learning tasks to engage analysis and apply new information.
Participants complete a learning needs resource survey and return it
one week prior to the workshop.
