Fixing What's Wrong w/ Training:
"Transforming Learning Through Science-Driven Curriculum & Pedagogy"

Nationally-recognized speaker, learning researcher and author Clark Quinn will share with you how to leverage the latest research and findings so that you can produce training that is MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE.

We all know that corporate learning and talent development (L&D) plays a critical role in business outcomes, workplace culture, and employee engagement. What’s often overlooked is that employees need training and skills development that aligns with their individual needs, personalities, and learning patterns. Plus, an increased demand for upskilling is driving a shift in the way that training is presented, and that shift has been toward (CBE).

"There are only two things wrong with our approach to education & training, the curriculum and the pedagogy, other than that, we're fine." This statement is all too true of the learning approaches we see taken in both academic education or corporate training! 

So, what's wrong? 

The underlying problem is that programs focus on knowledge rather than on practice. It affects both what we teach and how we teach. We see programs that apply the "Info-dump / knowledge-test" model, when what we should see a keen focus on meaningful practice. According to the research, in such cases, the program design does not align with how our brains learn! This misalignment is a problem. 

In this science-based session, we will:

• Dig into what makes learning work
  Reveal the requirements of effective instruction
  
• Revise both curriculum and pedagogy from this perspective
  
• Explore a shift from content to application at the curriculum level
  
• Focus on meaningful practice as a pedagogical approach
  

As a bonus, we'll also explore the wonderful magic of surprise in cognition and learning.
