The TBR Training From the Back of the Room certification program is a training approach that focuses on engaging learners and promoting active participation in the learning process. Trainers and facilitators can learn to incorporate the TBR approach into their training sessions. The TBR certification is a training approach focused on engaging learners and encouraging active participation in learning. As new technologies and trends shape how we work and learn, so does how we know. The TBR certification program adapts to these changes, giving trainers and facilitators the skills to create engaging, practical learning experiences.
One primary way TBR certification embraces new technology is by using virtual platforms to deliver remote training. Trainers are taught to use virtual platforms to provide content to students who cannot attend in-person training sessions—teaching trainers how to deliver a model based on how human beings naturally and normally learn, NOT on outmoded assumptions about human learning.
Our brain is hardwired to learn in specific basic ways, regardless of age, gender, nationality, or culture.
C1 – CONNECTIONS: The desire to learn – that is, to connect in meaningful ways to the physical environment and everything in it – is innate to the human brain.
For you personally, this means that, in order to learn effectively, you’ll want to connect your own past experiences and prior knowledge to the topic you’re learning about. The topic will need to be meaningful to YOU, not just to the person teaching it. And you’ll want to connect with anyone who can help you learn more about the topic – not just the “teacher,” but others who might have more knowledge or experience than you do.
All this applies to the people you teach, as well.
C2 – CONCEPTS: As your brain immerses itself in learning, it gathers information in all sorts of ways: watching, listening, doing, trial and error, until, over time, it creates mental and physical patterns that will translate into cognition, emotion, and physical action.
For you, this means you’ll try to fit any new information into the cognitive, emotional, and physical world you already know. There will be a struggle inside your brain until you can find that fit between what you already know and what you’re learning about.
The same applies to those you teach.
C3 – CONCRETE PRACTICE: This step goes hand-in-hand with the one before it. As the brain learns new information, it immediately begins the trial-and-error application of that information to the physical world.
For you, this means that you’ll want time to practice using the information you’ve learned. You’ll learn as much from your mistakes as you will from your successes. Gradually, you’ll master what you’ve learned – and, of course, one of the best ways to master anything is to teach it to someone else.
The people you instruct will need to do the same: to practice using the new information and to master it by teaching it to others.
C4 – CONCLUSIONS: Throughout the entire learning process, the brain assesses what it has learned and how it can use the new learning in its own life. The new learning gets folded into the old, and new cognitive, emotional, and physical patterns emerge.
For you, this means that you’ll do some self-reflection during this step of the learning process: evaluating what you’ve learned, how you can use it, how it will change your life, and how you feel about the entire learning experience up to now. Your feelings will also determine if you want to continue formally learning more about this topic.
