TABLE OF CONTENTS New Supervisor Training
Chapter 7: Half-Day Session (3-4 Hours)
The materials included in this workbook can be used for a variety of training needs and time frames. This chapter covers designs suitable for half-day (four-hour) training sessions. We encourage group training because the learning environment is enhanced by contributions from a variety of participants. Although group learning dynamics can be obtained with as few as three participants, we find groups of 12 to 24 participants to be the most conducive to learning.
