Training from the Back of the Room

In this TBR Practitioner Class, you’ll explore how the human brain really learns, which is very different from traditional assumptions about learning. And you’ll be introduced to “cognitive neuroscience” concepts – the brain science behind all effective instructional design and human learning.

De-facto standard in the Agile/DevOps training world, TBR increases long term stickiness of learning and helps effectively model Agile mindset principles.

What will you be able to do after this training?

1. Apply six learning principles based on current brain science every time you train or facilitate, regardless of the complexity of your topic, size of the group, or level of the participants.
2. Demonstrate a variety of brain science elements important to adult learning, using your own training topics.
3. Increase learners' attention, retention and engagement with learning activities that engage the whole brain.
4. Use the 4C "map" of instructional training design and delivery model.
5. Add to your toolbox over 65 brain-based learning activities for all topics and all instructional formats: classroom, e-learning, one-on-one, small or large group meeting.
6. Access a collection of new brain science resources to enhance your training skills whether you teach in real or virtual classrooms.
7. Create effective training programs that combine your own material with the brain-based strategies from this program.
8. Explain to your colleagues the basic concepts of the psychology of human brain as it applies to learning, training and memory.
9. Become a member of an ongoing "mastermind" group of trainers and continue your TBR journey through collaboration, idea exchange and community support.
