If you think teaching is talking then you need this workshop. You know your shit and you explain well, but people don’t learn by osmosis. We don’t just “absorb” information.
We need to engage with it, to use it, and recall it in order to reach the holy grail of teaching: transfer. Transfer is when someone can take what they learned and apply it beyond the situation in which they learned it.
Without transfer they can repeat what you said but not do anything with it. They watch the video, nod along, but then they can’t remember enough of the material to do something with it.
After this workshop, you’ll be able to help your clients use what you’re teaching them in situations you never covered (not just regurgitate what’s on slide 3).
What do we actually DO?
You come to the group Zoom room with a lesson you either want to run live, have already recorded, or plan to record and in that 90 minutes we’ll build your lesson with teaching strategies and create a plan for you to implement on your other lessons.
What you walk away with:
One lesson plan outlined for retention and engagement and actual learning (whether you’re writing, recording video or audio, or doing it live)
The structure to apply to your other lesson content, no matter how you’re delivering it.
Confidence that what you teach is going to be used.
Why You?
Your lesson consists of you just explaining things
You plan to record yourself talking for 20 minutes and call it a lesson OR
you keep explaining it in different ways hoping something sticks OR
You’ve sat through talking at you video lessons and you know it didn’t work.
You want them to be able to use it when they leave you.
You’ve been told your teaching is “like a firehose.”
You want better testimonials and feedback than “it was so useful”!
You want to feel confident about the course content that you create.
Why Me?
First of all, because this works. Teaching strategies that produce transfer have been studied for decades, and engagement and thought are required for people to remember what they learned.
Secondly, I’m not just someone with an instructional design background and a PhD. I’ve got the theory and the experience and used both together to do grant funded research AND teach over 3000 adult students across 7 different schools.
I see dead courses before they’re dead.
Why NOT You?
You don't know what people are supposed to DO in the lesson yet. Build the activity first, then figure out how to teach it. That’s Workshop 3 on November 5 (missed it? We can get it done in a strategy session)
People seem to get it, but they’re still not finishing. That might be a pacing issue, which we’ll cover in Workshop 5 on December 5th.
