Designing and Delivering Great Training
We always make sure that our Designing and Delivering Great Training is flexible enough to accomodate your different local specifications and needs. It is, however, like all CLAE courses, premised on the belief that teaching others - whether community members, lay advocates, or peers - is an essential facet of effective advocacy. In addition, this training recognizes, and demonstrates, that learning is most potent when interactive and reflective of participants' experience and goals. Upon these foundations, and while working toward a concrete training goal, Designing and Delivering Great Training will help you to identify the learning characteristics of audiences, the instructional methods most suited to meeting different ends, and the implications of using a range of teaching techniques."The Center for Legal Aid Education offers a realistic and affordable opportunity to provide high quality, accessible training to legal aid lawyers throughout the country. (It) will forge a national community of advocates, able and willing to work together to addres the most formidable legal problems facing low income people."
- Lonnie A. Powers, Executive Director, Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation
