Education Seminars

Here are just a few of our seminars on Education!

 

Adult Learning

The Developing Master Teachers Program

 
What are the big ideas that every successful teacher incorporates into their teaching strategies?  What makes the difference between an average teacher and one who truly engages their classes?  How can you become a master teacher no matter what your area of study?  Learn how to become the best teacher your students ever had.

  • Enchanting Your Courses

 
How to make your curriculum more interesting and memorable for your students by using techniques that engage and challenge.  Take that dry, old material and make it sing.  Creative strategies for the teachers who are not naturally creative.  Learn the powerful techniques of questions, story and analogy.  Part of our Developing Master Teachers program.

 

  • Are You Talking To Me?


Communicating effectively with adults. How do you engage adults in a way that connects with them where they are and where they've been?  What are the big ideas that will make or break your presentations to an adult audience?  Learn how to go beyond making a speech or reading your textbook to ensure that your audience can really learn and benefit from their time with you.  If you are teaching adults - you need to have this course.  For the sake of the search engines, we'll say that this is the study of androgogy.  But that would be a boring way to look at this topic.  So we prefer to describe this as "communicating and connecting with adults."  Learn from us the art and science behind adult learning no matter what or where or how you're currently teaching others.  (...and did we mention that knowing how adults learn takes the pressure off you - making your life more fun too?)

  • Personal Mythology
 
A motivated teacher changes lives.  Not only do their students learn more and remember it better - they become different people.  How to look at your life and career in education as a part of a bigger story that can change lives.  Motivate yourself in new ways that will motivate all those in your classrooms and your life.  Leave a legacy in lives changed because - "You were my teacher."

  • Training The Trainer

Training is a part of successful companies.  When you are large enough to include a full or part-time trainer in your group - you can expand and enhance the training that happens inside your organization.  That will improve sales, service, safety, efficiency and effectiveness - if your trainer is good at what they do. 

Our Train the Trainer program coaches people doing the training with a crash course on how to be effective in training others by understanding some of the basics about how adults learn, how to convert information into education and how to identify whether the trainees have learned it.  We also review basic presentation skills and how to engage your audience.

  • Sales In The Classroom
 
What can we learn from business that applies to "making the sale" with our adult students every day.  What is the relationship between "selling intangibles" and educating adults?  How do we prepare our curriculum in a way that our students will not only buy into it but also own it?  Learn how to invest in your students so they will invest in their careers.
 

  • Here Are The Keys! 

Remember that feeling when you were first given the keys to the car?  You were excited about the new world you were about to explore.  This seminar again offers you "the keys" to open your mind to explore new ideas and a new ways of thinking. 

Unlock your creativity and go on an adventure in learning that you can apply to every aspect of your life.
