Train the Trainer - Deb Wenger, Consultant, Bruce Kennedy, AALAS
Many people become trainers because of their knowledge on a particular subject. However, the best trainers are those who realize the ability to train is not something gained from subject knowledge alone, but through an understanding of how to transfer that knowledge to others. This program has been designed to give trainers a comprehensive guide of core knowledge and key competencies expected of trainers.
The instructors will take a case study approach to address training in laboratory animal science. Cases involve; developing a curriculum, training various stakeholders, and focusing on the take-home message when everything is important. Participants will be asked to interactively participate in this workshop.

The workshop will cover the specifics of setting up a program to include PowerPoint presentations, quizzes and exams for all three levels using samples of three formats to help the "trainer to train". Additionally, motivational tools will be presented to help fully engage candidates.
