Day One – Learning Style and Diversity

You will explore adult learning principles, learning style differences and right and left brain modalities through the use of the Learning Type Measure and Hemispheric Mode Indicator assessments. We examine the four major identifiable learning styles and reflect how they are equally valuable. We discuss the design and delivery approaches that target the needs of all learning styles and both brain modalities.

Day Two – The 4MAT Model

You will examine each progressive phase of the 4MAT design framework. We explore how to design high impact training that moves through all 4 quadrants and how to alternate training techniques with right and left mode processing

Day Three – The Cycle of Learning

You will explore the natural learning cycle and deepen your understanding of various points around the cycle and how to move the learner from one phase to the next. Much of this day is focused on refining and critiquing training designs ensuring that they are ready for delivery.

Day Four – 4MAT and Assessment

This day focuses on how to add assessment measures which provide learners with the opportunity to actively produce real work and demonstrate their knowing. You will explore how Kirkpatrick’s four levels of evaluation fit within the cycle.

Day Five – The Final Unit: Leadership

You will examine how leaders need to develop skills in all 4 quadrants and how organizations can achieve greater program integration by following the natural cycle. This day explores organizational aspects of 4MAT, including change management, Learning Organisation theory and leadership styles.
