Trainer's EDGE

The Trainer’s EDGE replaces the Trainer Development Conference (BSA 500) as the required train-the‐trainer course for Wood Badge and NYLT staffs. The purpose of the Trainer’s EDGE course is to provide and help develop the platform skills of a trainer. It is meant to supplement the practice offered through Wood Badge and NYLT staff development, with a focus on the participant, while raising the level of skill a trainer brings to the staff experience. Only practice can polish these skills, but this course is intended to “train the trainer” on behaviors and resources while offering hands‐on experience in methods and media.

The course introduces the EDGE model of training. The skills and methods of training are "EXPLAINED" and "DEMONSTRATED" to participants before they are "GUIDED" through making their own presentation. Particpants leave the course "ENABLED" to conduct training on their own.

The 2010 Trainer's EDGE course will be held March 6th at the Gerace Service Center. Flyers for the course will be available and registration will begin on January 4th.
