TARGET GROUP
Trainers planning training and/or participants disseminating their learning in the workplace.
WHEN TO APPLY
When planning a training programme or schedule (trainers); when planning how to disseminate learning in the workplace with colleagues (participants).
AIM
Decide a memorable word – the letters of which represent key elements required for successful training planning or learning dissemination in your setting.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
One piece of paper; thought about a word that covers your key planning elements.
TIME REQUIRED
Variable but not significant.
DESCRIPTION
Select a memorable word – ideally related to the subject – where the first letters of the word can each represent key stages of planning your training or planning your dissemination/application of training in the workplace. e.g. SMART [specific-measurable-achievable-relevant-timebound] is a commonly used mnemonic.
You can choose your own mnemonic which is more specific to your subject area. E.g. ASSAULT could be a mnemonic which prompts when planning DV/SV training to think through the stages of: ‘Aim – Specific – Setting – Audience – Useful – Learning –Tools’.
