The Virtual TBR-VE® Class

(TBR-VE® is a registered US trademark) 

In this practical and interactive 5-module virtual class, you’ll explore current “brain science” as it relates to human learning in virtual environments. You’ll discover 6 specific brain-science principles and a 4-step instructional design model that you can use in your own virtual teaching and training. And you’ll leave with dozens of new ideas, activities, resources, and a new “Gold Standard” for virtual instruction and learning.

The class consists of five 2.5 hour live-streaming modules (a total of 12.5 hours of class time usually spaced over 2 – 3 weeks). There are also about 2 hours of independent “homework” assignments between each module. Upon completion of the class and the assignments, you will receive a TBR-VE® Class “Certificate of Completion” and will be invited to become a member of the global TBR Practitioners Group on Slack. 

After your active participation in the TBR-VE® Class, you will be able to:
*  Apply 6 The Six Trumps™ brain-science principles to any virtual/remote training you facilitate;
*  Use the 4Cs Map to design/deliver brain-based virtual instruction;
*  Create virtual classes that combine your own topic and materials with the brain-based concepts and strategies from the class;
*  Choose from dozens of virtual brain-based learning activities;
*  Become an active member of the TBR Practitioners Group on Slack.

The official 2-day in-person “Training from the BACK of the Room” (TBR) Practitioner Class is a globally-acclaimed, interactive, skills-building train-the-trainer class for anyone who is a trainer, teacher, instructor, coach, or facilitator of learning. 

In this 2-day in-person TBR Practitioner Class, you’ll explore how the human brain really learns, which is very different from traditional assumptions about learning. And you’ll be introduced to “cognitive neuroscience” concepts – the brain science behind all effective instructional design and human learning.

* Explore The Six Trumps™ – six powerful brain-science principles based on how humans learn best.

* Apply these principles every time you train, teach, instruct, or coach others. 

* Experience and collect dozens of interactive instructional strategies that you can use with any topic and any group of learners.

* Use the 4Cs Map – a powerful 4-step instructional design and delivery model – to design any class or training you facilitate.

* Create a training plan specific to a topic you already teach.

* Receive a 55-page participant workbook that is only available with this class, as well as hard copies of the two best-selling books: ”Training from the BACK of the Room!” and “Using Brain Science to Make Training Stick.”
