Checklists For Trainers And Teachers: Avoid "Forgetting" Things And Damaging Training Outcomes
It's Easy To Miss Small But Critical Aspects Of Training Delivery
After some thirty five years teaching and delivering training, I've experienced a huge array of little things that get forgotten, or left unchecked, that make the training task much harder, and negatively impact the experience of trainees.
It's pretty amazing how little thing, for example, like forgetting to check site lines in a classroom, or ensuring there are enough power cords can disrupt trainers, and learners, and make the task of training much harder.
It's often the little things that can cause trainers to get flustered, and trainees to get frustrated.
Checklists Can Help
While having various checklists to remind you of the things that MUST be done, and must be checked, both prior to and during training aren't perfect solutions, they can really help trainers. Prior to training sessions, trainers are more occupied with the content of the training, and can forget to do the basic checks that must be done. It's the same for instructional designers
In this section you'll find a variety of checklists you can use as is, or customize to create your own.
Note: Formats vary here, including PDF and Word documents in addition to html (websites). Some may not display well on mobile devices.
All those included are free of charge.
