Core Classroom: Making Training Stick: A Playful Approach to Learning

Description: With Dr. Betsy Diamant-Cohen, Dr. Lindsay O’Neill, Paul Signorelli, Dorothy Stoltz.  A three-week Core Classroom, each weekly Zoom session lasting 60 minutes (recommended but not mandatory) combined with 3 - 4 hours coursework each week.

Tired of “one-and-done” trainings that fizzle out the moment everyone logs off? You know the scene: staff leave a workshop buzzing with great ideas…and then nothing changes back at the desk. 

Strengthen your training skills through this three-week virtual class and discover principles and strategies to make learning actually stick and get used on the job. Our team of experienced instructors will playfully guide you to design a training you can use to boost skill development and ROI without needing extra budget, staff, or magic.  

This is a 3-week virtual workshop that combines self-paced work with optional live interaction. Each week includes: assignment activities to complete on your own, plus, one live Zoom group discussion (recommended but not mandatory).

Although the course is self-paced, participants are expected to try one or two new strategies each week and report their observations and results — what worked and what didn’t. Two reporting options: 1) share verbally during the live Zoom session, or, 2) post in the discussion forum.

Not only will you learn from the instructors, but you will benefit from other participants. Perfect for libraries of any size – walk away with simple, light-touch strategies you can start using tomorrow.
