Train the Trainer: Tips for Enhancing Employee Learning (Presented at HighEdW...Katie Santo
Let’s be honest: no one truly enjoys sitting through an hour or more of training that is required as part of their job. This is especially the case when said topic is less than exciting or ever so slightly technical in nature. “Come sit for an hour to learn a web content management system so I can update the university website? Well, that sounds super fun and at the top of my to-do list!” Said no one, ever. When it’s your job to facilitate training, it can be discouraging to know that your participants may not be as engaged in the topic at hand as you are. In this presentation, we’ll cover three things that you as a training facilitator can do to enhance the learning experience of your participants, so they walk away not only having learned the required material, but actually having enjoyed their time with you.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

7. Partnership Working
• Thank you to everyone involved in organising and helping to run this
event. 700 students who now feel confident to pursue employment
opportunities is a great achievement. This will hopefully help our
employability metrics, but most importantly it will be one more way
in which we transform the lives of our students. (Dean of Business
School)
• This was a major effort involving several groups. Sophie and Anna’s
leadership was excellent and they and their teams ensured a very
complex event ran very smoothly indeed. Ali, thank you for joining as
an assessor all day and giving our students the benefit of your
expertise. To Janette, Anne, Tim, Simon, Gerlinde, Peter, and Lynne,
thank you for volunteering your time and for supporting the students
at each stage. Together, we created an event that has already had a
strong positive impact on our students. (Lecturer Humanities)

“The experience was fabulous,
as it helped me to learn how it
is best to be employable with
companies in the future. All
the activities were very useful,
as it gave me a chance to test
various abilities to see my
strengths and weaknesses of
being a successful applicant
when applying for jobs”
“I enjoyed the interview
the most as I was very
nervous at the start, but as
I went in I did really well
and also got offered a job”
“I feel a lot more confident
now with the whole
process and how it may be
set out in the future. I
wouldn't feel like I've been
thrown into the deep end
at a real one”
“I enjoyed the group task the most as it
was the most challenging but also had a
realistic feel to it”
14. Influencing at a senior level
Lord-Lieutenant of
Hertfordshire: Robert Voss
The whole morning, - team working, presentations
and interviews were of the highest calibre and our
students were blessed to have such high quality,
intense development and feedback from
experienced ‘real word’ professionals, I doubt they
will ever experience such a transformational morning
in their future careers.
Robert Voss, my fellow governor and I made a point
of expressing our admiration of the assessment
training initiative at the university governors board
meeting this afternoon and asked that our
appreciation be recorded and minuted. (Tony
Hughes, Governor at the university)
