Why are we here?
Agenda The three things to consider…

Your Audience Seems to be the last thing we often consider
Adult Learners are DIFFERENT…
Keep control of the class…respectively
Know the diversity of your class
Use the experience of your class
Your Audience Put yourself in your audiences’ shoes…
Do you know them personally? CAN YOU know them better?
Are they coming on-shift or off? What temperature are they working in? What are some “behind-the-scenes” events
that could be affecting them? What is their LEARNING STYLE?
Learning Styles Auditory
Visual
Kinesthetic
All use a combo of these; most have a clear preference.

Would rather listen to things being explained than read about them
Recites info out loud
Likes to have music in background
Can't keep quiet for long periods

about them in a timed test.

responses to lectures they've heard. They're also good at oral exams.

Learning Style - Kinesthetic TOUCH
Process info best through a “hand-on” approach
Sitting still while studying may be difficult, but writing things down makes it easier to understand
Learning Style - Kinesthetic Good at sports Not great at spelling May not have great handwriting Studies with loud music on Likes adventure books/movies Takes breaks when studying Builds models Gets fidgety during lectures
How to teach a Kinesthetic Learner
Body needs to be in action in order to learn
Allow to stand, doodle, bounce legs, etc.
Have them perform the task, instead of just hearing about or seeing it
STRETCH!!

Best Test Type: Short definitions, fill-ins, multiple choice
Big Picture We retain…
29% of what we SEE 34% of what we HEAR 37% of what we DO
In Safety, we ALWAYS need to be the example, so make sure … what we SHOW them…… what we SAY…… and how we ACT…
is what we want others to SEE, HEAR and DO!
