Four cornerstones to think about in developing and delivering a training session

1. The introduction• You introduce the

topic, introduce yourself, and most importantly introduce the members.

2. What members will want to know!• Why are they

learning this topic?• How can it help

Labour win?

Page 20: Train the Trainers - Labour Party · Train the Trainers . Aim. To develop a network of volunteer trainers who will take a lead in promoting and supporting membership training within

3. Adults learn better when…• they are involved• given clear hands-on instructions• do something rather than just reading or discussing• learning is in informal but organised environments• materials are presented through a variety of methods with

practical examples• learning situations are co-operative and in groups• not pressured, tested or judged• there is time for reflection and short breaks between topics

Page 21: Train the Trainers - Labour Party · Train the Trainers . Aim. To develop a network of volunteer trainers who will take a lead in promoting and supporting membership training within

4 End of a session• Ask people to reflect quietly on their own and write down

what their next steps will be to implement what they have learned, what resources they’ll need and what will most help them.

• Finish off the course by going round each learner and asking them what they gained most from taking the session. Make sure everyone gives an answer as this is a great way for them to reflect upon what they’ve learnt.

• Finish with a round of applause for everyone involved and the feel-good feeling will last long after the end of the course!
