Ignite Learning: Mastering Engagement Techniques for Lasting Knowledge Retention

Are you an educator or trainer struggling to get key concepts to stick with your students? Do you find yourself wishing your learners would walk away retaining more of what you teach? As an expert in your field, you likely have a wealth of knowledge you want to impart. But knowledge transfer is a two-way street. For students to retain information, they need to fully engage with the material.

Our one-day intensive workshop is designed to provide you with creative methods to help learners maximize retention and apply what they learn. We’ll explore specific techniques to pique interest before the course even begins. Then we’ll focus on keeping learners actively involved throughout the training, so they own the material. Finally, we’ll look at ways they can immediately put new skills into practice after the course ends.

The workshop is ideal for corporate trainers, teachers, professors, coaches, and anyone who educates others. Our interactive approach allows you to bring real-life examples and challenges from your own students and adapt the techniques during the workshop.

During the course, you’ll learn to:

  • Develop methods to ensure students are primed and ready to learn. We’ll look at pre-course assignments, readings, videos, and communication strategies.
  • Explore ways to hook learners early by connecting material to their interests and goals. You’ll practice grabber openings and linking concepts to what already matters to them.
  • Focus on your learners’ needs by soliciting input and feedback before and during the course. We’ll examine surveys, assessments, and activities to engage different learning styles.
  • Determine ways to tap into the existing knowledge and background of your audience. You’ll learn to incorporate relevant examples and experiences shared by the learners themselves.
  • Create opportunities for hands-on participation through innovative individual and group activities. You’ll experience high-engagement techniques like gamification, case studies, and teach-backs.
  • Enable learners to put their new skills into practice through real-world application. We’ll explore methods to build in opportunities for learners to immediately implement concepts taught.

You’ll leave the workshop re-energized with a toolkit of best practices to boost engagement and knowledge retention. Your students will benefit from these learner-centric methods that tap into their needs and experiences. And you’ll see the impact when they can readily apply their new expertise.

If you’re ready to ignite excitement and drive learning outcomes, join us for this intensive hands-on workshop. Register today while spaces are still available in this high-demand course. I look forward to working together to enhance your students’ mastery and use of key concepts. Let’s unlock their potential!
