About this title

Synopsis

A unique guide to teaching adults the way they learn best: by doing. Serving both the novice trainer and the seasoned professional, this useful handbook shows how to effectively design and conduct active, experientially-based training programs in private and public sector organizations. For the first time ever in a single volume, active training techniques are illustrated by over 200 actual, real-life designs and case examples culled from more than 35 training topics, including such diverse subject matter as project management, team building, selling skills, and stress management.

From the Inside Flap

Since 1990, Mel Silberman's classic book, Active Training, has been a runaway best-seller for trainers at all levels and a popular text for university??level courses in adult education and training. The active training method—which turns the spotlight away from the instructor and puts the emphasis on the learner—has emerged over time as a proven and reliable method for enhancing involvement, learning, and change.

The third edition of Active Training, provides a thorough introduction to the core principles of active training design and delivery, and includes a wealth of examples, tips, and techniques. The book has been revised to reflect the latest trends in workforce training and key sections, such as assessment and evaluation, have been thoroughly updated. In addition, a completely new chapter has been included to cover the design of active training for e-learning and online applications.

Active Training will show you how to

• Assess training needs and participants
• Develop active training objectives
• Create practical opening activities
• Prepare brain-friendly lectures
• Design active training exercises
• Create e-learning applications
• Provide for back-on-the-job application . . . and much more!

Fasten your seat belts, this is no passive read. The book is filled with real-world cases, sample exercises to complete and try out, and hundreds of practical tips and techniques guaranteed to improve any training program.

This new edition includes a supplementary instructor's guide that is available at no charge from Pfeiffer.com.
