2019 AIN World Conference at Stony Brook

Whether you are preparing to be a professional trainer, or you are someone who does a bit of training as a part of their job, you'll want to be prepared for the training that you do. Your participants will begin the process of becoming trainers themselves, and understand that training is a process where skills, knowledge, and attitudes are applied.  Applied improvisation will enhance the training by enabling the trainer to read and pivot as needed for their participants. Using the ‘aha’ method of teaching and learning, The Train-The-Trainer workshop will give all types of trainer's tools to help them create and deliver engaging, compelling workshops that will encourage trainees to come back for more. Skills such as facilitating, needs analyses, understanding participant’s needs, and managing tough topics will give your trainees what they need to become a trainer themselves. We will explore: the process, theory and art of Improvisation for the Theater; define training, facilitating, and presenting; understand how to identify participants’ training needs; create an active, engaging learning environment; discuss how to debrief and give feedback; discuss how to side coach.
