Book Description

October 1996
The Only Training Resource You Need! Includes Reproducible Worksheets

If you're like most trainers, you acquire exercises, worksheets and activities from different sources all the time. And if you're like most trainers, you can't find those resources again when you really need them—or you wish they were just a little different. Tool Kit for Trainers solves the problem in style. A bag of tricks for trainers, the Tool Kit gathers together in one place more than 50 group-tested instruments and devices for tackling common and uncommon problems associated with group work. Suggested variations expand the activities' usefulness.

People learn best from personal experience. You can use Tool Kit techniques to focus attention and aid reflection as people come together to examine their own experiences or to generate artificial experiences within the group. Use the activities to help individuals and groups develop their own learning and insights in ways that are frequently novel and always stimulating! Tool Kit for Trainers will help anyone who works with:

-Training groups -Personal-developmenl groups -Task-based groups -Problem-solving groups -Team-development groups -Mutual-support groups

Set out in a clear, easy-to-follow format with diagrams, reproductible worksheets, suggested variations and guidance on the strengths and adaptability of each technique, the Tool Kit is an invaluable resource for both new and experienced trainers and all those who work with groups.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creating your own Tool-Kit for Success!, April 18, 2001

Jami Gebert (Stevens Point, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tool Kit for Trainers (Paperback)
The Tool-Kit for Trainers: 59 Great Techniques for Trainers and Group Workers, by Tim Pickles, is an energizing text filled with excellent tricks for perfection in training. Pickles outlines this self-help text into four training issues: "Models for Understanding Groups," "Tools for Learning," "Tools for Evaluation," and "Tools for Coping with Problems." Pickles' outline of the subject material makes it easy for the reader to pick up this text for help on one issue or for a entire text that illustrates how a trainer can build his or her own tool-kit for success. All the sections are easy to understand and are laid out with a purpose of the training, the methods to perform the training including examples of use, worksheet and handouts for the trainees, variations for certain situations and the suitability of the activity. In addition, all the text's numerous models can be copied by the reader for individual use. The straightforwardness of the activities and learning opportunities provided by this training text should be recommend it to any trainer looking for new activities to perform, updates for current training session, or for an entire text devoted to molding a great training session. All the sections were clearly written and fun to read. The numerous worksheets and handouts provided throughout the entire text provide any trainer with a great starting point. Through the descriptions presented in this text anyone would feel qualified to produce their own training tool-kit for success.
