The Creative Trainer

For trainers and teachers, getting participants excited about learning is no laughing matter. They face challenges in ensuring attention, participation, and retention.

In his research on Multiple Intelligences(MI), Howard Gardner points out the need to look beyond logical and linguistic ability as represented by IQ. The use of MI and creativity gains participants' attention and brings about involvement and interaction in the learning environment.

The two-day Creative Trainer workshop will help participants learn how to design and deliver creative training that results in superior learning through the use of MI and creative tools.

This programme is designed for trainers, line managers, consultants, subject matter experts, and others who need to enliven their training sessions with creative training tools. The workshop is relevant to both technical and soft skill trainers.

Ability to design and deliver creative training based on the concept of Multiple Intelligences.

On completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

	Integrate the concept of Multiple Intelligences in their training sessions
	Design creative training activities
	Facilitate training sessions creatively
	Use creative tools to accelerate learning
	Assess learning in creative and non-threatening ways

	Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences
	Kolb's Experiential Learning Model
	Palan's FUN Model: FUN x Content = Result

We follow the 'Demonstrate -- Review -- Do -- Log Learning' approach throughout the five-day programme.
