Training from the Back of the Room - Virtual Edition (TBR-VE™)

Become a skillful virtual trainer leveraging brain science to make the learning stick!

The official “Training from the BACK of the Room - virtual edition” (TBR-VE) Practitioner Class is a globally-acclaimed, interactive, skills-building train-the-trainer class for anyone who is a trainer, teacher, instructor, coach, or facilitator of learning.

In this 5-module TBR-VE 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.

During this virtual setting, you’ll explore six powerful learning principles based on the best of brain science. You’ll be able to apply these principles every time you train, teach, instruct, or coach others. You’ll also experience and collect dozens of interactive instructional strategies that you can use with any topic and any group of learners. You’ll use the 4Cs Map – a powerful 4-step instructional design and delivery model – to create a training plan specific to a topic you already teach.

After your active participation in the TBR-VE Class, you will be able to:

• apply 6 brain-science principles to any virtual/remote training you facilitate
• use the 4Cs Map to design/deliver brain-based, virtual instruction
• create virtual training sessions that combine your topic and materials with the brain-based concepts and strategies from the class
• choose from dozens of virtual brain-based learning activities
• become an active member of the TBR-VE Class Group on Slack
