Another tiring and
sleepless night . And then sun rays
streaming through the window. All the
planning has been done . All the preparation has been taken care of. The result
of the previous day’s hard work is achieved. All of us are ready for our last micro-training session …
Entering the SGC 101
I noticed my friends’ tired faces and I felt their heads were full of thoughts: What will happen? How our sessions will be conducted? What feedback will our trainers give us? And…. suddenly Andy’s supportive, friendly
and cheerful voice interrupted our thoughts. Again reflection on the previous
day and summarizing all the steps of
Experiential Learning Cycle… As Andy said
“you have to shoot your own dog” in order to be and feel more confident
and we began “to shoot our own dogs” as
well… the whole group was again divided into three parts and after conducting
micro-trainings each of us got useful feedback from the three most supportive and experienced trainers.
Here are some tips from our trainers that I remembered:
·
If you want your students to listen to you, give
them lots of reasons to listen
·
Mind RRR- Repetition, Repetition and again
Repetition.
·
If you tell smb you like smth, tell why?
·
Your role is not to be an instructor, your role is to be a facilitator.
·
To say why you are going to do smth gives
trainees confidence
·
Use more what, why, how questions and make
trainees think
·
Find specific language while giving
feedback e.g. I was watching carefully
your way …. I would like it to be more….
·
Think what the audience want you to give them
·
Do not get fixed on only this structure of the
training session, try other ways too…….
Despite having an increasingly busy
schedule revolving around us we wholeheartedly believe that we should make
every day wonderful!!!!
Looking forward to the next day
