The Trainer's Handbook

Book Overview

The Trainer's Handbook walks readers step-by-step through the training process and contains tips on assessing the needs of participants, keeping training learner-centered, incorporating activities into training, selecting audiovisual aids, and closing sessions creatively. As practical as it is instructive, the guide is filled with worksheets, checklists, and assessments--reproducible on the accompanying CD-ROM--that are designed to be flexible so trainers can plan their own paths to success.

Good!!!!!

This book is excellent for the trainer. Have tecniques and other things and is easy to read

An exellent book...

I've got this book as a reference for the course I'm taking in school of public health. I got it and I finished it in 3-4 days. An excellent book, very easy to read and follow. Excellent surveys and very usefull points. I highly recommend this book for whoever that thinks (s)he want to become a teacher, a trainer and above all trains the trainer. As a medical resident, I used lessons I've learned from this book and the result was excellent. I'm looking for other books written by the author.

A Must Have for A Trainer's Book Shelf

This is a must read for anyone involved in training from novice to sophisticate. It's a reader-friendly book chock full of information. Karen takes the reader from assessing needs through evaluating training. She covers classroom diversity, group management, difficult training situations, cost/benefit analysis and much, much more! You'll never be bored!
