Train-the-Trainer: Training design

Training focus and content

Learners consider which TIME4CS training module(s) to work with for the training they are designing (or they may decide to design their own training modules from scratch)

Deciding on the specific topic of training is important for proper planning. Available resources should be considered for use with adaptation rather than creating new training content.

Applying the Logic Model framework

Each learner or group applies the Logic Model to their training opportunity, considering: Impact, Outcomes, Outputs, Activities, and Resources, and writes it on a flip-chart or Miro board.

Application of the Logic Model to their own training context will provide learners with applied knowledge and actual information they can use for their own training.

Presentation and feedback

Each group or individual presents their flip-charts and Logic Models, explaining their rationale behind it. Presentations are followed by a feedback session, where peers and/or facilitators ask questions, provide constructive comments, and alternative perspectives.

Presenting their Logic Models and rationale behind it and receiving feedback cultivates a collaborative learning environment and enhances learners’ ability to articulate and refine their ideas on their planning, development and outcomes of their training.

Conclusion and reflection

The session concludes with learners reflecting on their learning experience. They consider how using the Logic Model has influenced their understanding of how to plan and develop their future training sessions.

Reflecting on the session's activities solidifies learning and allows learners to improve and refine their planning skills and consider their wanted outcomes and impact already at the planning stage.
