| I believe in creating fun and interactive trainings that allow participating and increases information retention. I focus on the importance of our role as educators to inspire and energize participants in wanting to improve themselves to become more effective teachers. I utilize large group and small group moments within my trainings where I can facilitate from one small group to the next, find commonalities/good discussions in each, and then bring them together to the large group. |
