Curriculum:
Identifying Participants to Lead Interactive Training Units
Goals: The
goal of this activity is to develop and improve teaching skills
participants must experience leading interactive training
activities. Participants will receive support from training
facilitators to present units on specific elements of the
health and safety program. Participant unit leaders will ask
for feedback regarding their performance and receive positive
and constructive feedback from all participants and facilitiators.
Objectives: Participants
will:
- choose
a unit to lead with a participant partner.
- prepare
for the unit with support of the facilitators.
- conduct
the small group activity.
- ask
for and recevie feedback on the activity.
Time: 30
Minutes
Materials
needed: Curriculum binder, unit outline and feedback forms,
flip chart and markers.
How
to conduct the activity: (Note: Underlined portions are
instructions to participants.)
A
list of unit topics will be posted. The facilitator will
state that the remainder of the training will be lead by the
participants with support of the training facilitators. Based
on the needs and interests of the participants, the facilitators
will ask participants to volunteer to lead the following
units: Violence prevention, Ergonomics, Driving Hazards, Record
keeping and Chemical/Physical Hazards. When this is complete
the facilitator will then schedule the units based on the ranking
of hazards in the first activity. Another way to begin scheduling
the units is to start with the Record keeping activity; this
activity may naturally lead to discussions and prioritizing
other unit topics.
The
facilitator will then read and review the training outline
for each unit to give the unit leaders steps to follow as they
lead the activity.
Feedback
from each activity will be provided at the end of each unit.
Participants and facilitators will use the form attached to
record notes at the end of each unit. After each unit is complete
the facilitator will ask participants to complete the unit
feedback form. The facilitator will begin the feedback session
asking the unit leaders to share their impressions of leading
the unit and ask if the unit leaders have any specific questions
for the group. The facilitator will then ask participants
to share feedback, emphasizing the positive.
At
the close of the second day of training the facilitator may
want to review the different training methods and media that
were utilized in the train-the-trainer course. The facilitators
may also want to ask participants to share their favorite activities
and approaches to summary the course and to provide participants
ideas for networking and further research.
