LEARNRT Round Table

I am currently in the process of working with a task force to review/create development opportunities for our librarians and other staff who conduct in-house training.

7 years ago some staff went through Train the Trainer and since then it has been purely self-directed learning and not required. We are looking to put together a workshop (with mentoring, online follow-up and continued skill development sessions) as a way for our trainers to stay up to date.
We have already conducted a staff learning survey and we will be interviewing our current trainers to see if they have any skill gaps that we can help with - and then we would like to use some self identified learning areas to build the structure of the workshop and then add in the techniques and resources. 

Does anyone have a formal program, workshop, class or tutorials that you have your staff go through before they can train other staff?

Hi Cassie,

We require all of our trainers to complete this train the trainer class. We only teach skills about presentation and classroom management. We do not train folks about instructional design. We also have a separate class on coaching that covers how to be a good coach for a new employee when doing 1:1 or on-the-job training. If you'd like to see that, let me know.

Attached is the class materials (slides, participant and facilitator guide) for our train the trainer class. Happy to answer any additional questions as well!
