Not only training programs but even the sessions conducted in schools or colleges are expected to have session plans. The plan of training begins from a setting a goal. Then the objectives are set in the same line and in order to achieve them, sessions are planned. Hence, sessions are like ‘the goal converted to actionable points’, which have their own objectives and therefore it is important that they follow certain path.
They also help the facilitator to focus, save from getting derailed, distracted and also to arrest unwarranted discussions among participants, especially when the trainings are conducted in a participative manner. Let’s see what all pointers a session plan should cover:
~ Objective of the session
~ Content to be covered with a logical flow
~ Time duration where a complete slot is broken in small parts
~ Methods to be used in combination
~ Checklist of training aids & resources required for the session
~ Expected outcome of the session
Session map can be viewed as,
~ Minute to minute planning of the session to ensure that every minute is well-valued
~ A Roadmap showing starting point, finishing point & all the places we need to explore along the way
~ A logical connection leading to next session
~ A guidebook which handholds the trainer right from preparation stage to concluding point
Whether it should be shared with the participants before hand solely depends on the purpose of the training & Background of the participants. However, I always choose to not share it in details but make them party to it in the first 5 minutes of the session. The purpose behind this is,
~ Not letting them imagine something, which is completely out of the frame of training, which may set wrong expectations
But at the same time,
~ Maintaining the fun and surprise element throughout the session for them as it is an important factor in the learning process.
Planning always helps… May it be a session or our Day! If we can plan our activities in the similar fashion, I am sure the results would be multifold. As you are awareΒ Synergeze Consultants Private LimitedΒ offer multiple services and in all those ‘planning’ is an inevitable component.
