Special Instructions:
Course Information:
- In order to pass this course successfully, you will be required to plan and teach a 10-minute mini-lesson: a toolbox talk or a similar short, focused piece of training.
- Please do NOT prepare a lesson in advance. Instead, you will be provided choices in what you can plan and teach on the day. By planning and delivering a lesson on the day of the course, you will have the chance to apply the 7-step instructional process and new instructional skills and knowledge to enhance the impact of your training.
- You will use a seven-step template to help you to plan your lesson. The steps are:
- Focus Gain trainees’ attention, establish the importance of the topic.
- Objective Describing what trainees will have learned or be able to do by the end of the lesson
- Link Link the lesson to trainees’ existing knowledge and skills
- Present new learning This is the core learning of the lesson in which you overview the key points/ideas, demonstrate the new skill.
- Practice-Feedback This is where the trainees engage with the new information or practice the skill with the trainer’s and other trainees’ support and feedback.
- Assess Trainees show what they know
- Debrief Summarize the learning, link the lesson to future learning, give closure to the lesson
- You will be given enough time to understand the seven-step process; plan and get feedback on your lesson plan; and deliver and debrief it.
- Your lesson is not expected to turn us into experts on a particular topic. The emphasis is on the teaching and getting learners involved.
- The class environment in TST is always supportive and trainee-centered. Seating in the classroom will be arranged so small groups can work “hands-on” together throughout the day. Your TST peers will also be very supportive during your mini-lesson and the lessons that people deliver are always positive experiences.
