​Active pedagogy:
the secrets of a successful training workshop

06

The traps

​Activity for activity's sake, games that teach nothing, and group work with no debrief — the debrief is where the learning actually happens.

05

Evidence it worked

​Evaluation beyond the smiley sheet: observable behaviour, transfer to the job, and the follow-up that makes learning stick.

03

Designing the sequence

​The energy curve of a room, the alternation of input and practice, and why twenty minutes of talking costs you the next forty.

04

Facilitation, not presentation

​Asking instead of telling, working with silence, the participant who takes the room, and the group that refuses to play.

02

The methodology menu

Case study, role play, simulation, peer teaching, project work, structured games — six families, and the situations where each one is the wrong choice.

Start from the objective

Most workshops are built from what the trainer knows, not from what the participant must be able to do afterwards. One test separates the two.
