Quality Instruction
The Instructor
Our instructors have developed approaches to lead the student toward
success, rather than confusion. We know how to introduce and coach topics in
such a way as to practically ensure student success. As training
professionals, we incorporate a consistent approach for each topic and
concept:
- Training Professional
- Minimum of 5 years Classroom Instruction Experience
- Instructors - We are the "Subject Matter Experts"
- We apply adult learning principles in the classroom and maintain
excellent classroom management techniques:
- Having a full agenda
- Incorporate Adult Learning Principles
- Maximum interaction with students
- Applicable exercises and examples
- Subject-Matter experts as Instructors
- Tailoring the courseware for the students
The Lab Assistant
The majority of the workshops we schedule with private industry clients,
normally maintain an enrollment between 10 and 15 students. We provide an
assistant teacher (Lab Assistant) who is responsible for spotting student
difficulties and coaching students so that they can continue with the
workshop exercises. The Lab Assistant monitors the student’s progress in
each of the exercises and provides suggestions to get the student back on
track – they do not teach.
The Lab Assistant additionally acts as a second set of eyes in the
classroom, providing immediate feedback to the Instructor, this includes:
the pace of the class, student’s level of comprehension, students
experiencing difficulties with an exercise – allowing the instructor to
provide additional details or instructions to the class. The Instructor will
direct the Lab Assistant, to work with an individual student who has fallen
behind or requires additional attention, so that the Instructor can continue
with the instruction for the remainder of the class.
Additionally, we have noticed that when a Lab Assistant is available in
the classroom, the students are more likely to ask questions – because they
recognize the level of support that TTS offers. The student is less likely
to be apprehensive about asking for assistance by calling the Lab Assistant
over to ask a question. |
