Representation Discussion
What are three compliments customers have shared that showed a deep understanding of what you/your WorkForce Center does to help people?
How would it impact your effectiveness if every customer shared that understanding?
What do you want customers to say about you/your WorkForce Center?
Learning Objective 1
The Role of Program Representative

Modeling a “working together” mindset about the program to alleviate learner concerns about being taught and evaluated.
Keeping Your Message about the Program Positive Regarding:

they learn.
Ways to Reinforce the Program’s Value Include: Pointing out how skill areas staff
may be struggling with will be covered in upcoming training modules.
Sharing what you are looking forward to learning.
Explaining how the modules affirm many employees’ existing abilities.
Being transparent about what you’ve learned.

Getting Ready To Train
Know your stuff Schedule adequate time Get participants involved Personalize the materials Set a climate that encourages group input
The Five-Step Method for Teaching a Skill Step One: Explain what competency they’ll be learning
about. Step Two: Review the competency’s checklist with the
learner. Step Three: Demonstrate the competency. Step Four: Check for comprehension Step Five: Ask the learner to demonstrate the
competency.
Step One: Explain Competency Being Covered
In this step you’ll: Explain what competency the
training will focus on. Determine how much the
learner already knows. Tailor the learning to his/her
needs.
Step Two: Review the Competency Checklist with the Learner
In step two, you’ll use the competency records which list the learning objectives and/or competencies.
Ask the learner to highlight the competencies he/she wants to focus on and learn more about.
Mention the section(s) in the module that helped improve your skill sets(s).
Step Three: Demonstrate the Competency Be sure the learner can see and hear your
demonstration. Read the competency out load before the demonstration. Set the stage by suggesting a situation where the
competency will be most often applied. Give your demonstration at half the normal speed. Ask if there are any parts of the demonstration he/she
wants repeated.
Step Four: Check for Comprehension
Stop when you see: Signals of boredom, disinterest, and distraction. Signs of confusion and misunderstanding. When you’re trying to find out where a learner
got lost.
Step Four: Check for Comprehension by Saying:
“What haven’t I made very clear?”
“What can I explain in a little more detail?
“What part of the demonstration would you like to see again?”
Step Five: Ask the Learner to Demonstrate the Competency Review the competency records which lists the
competency(ies) the learner will demonstrate. Reiterate that evaluations are not based a pass/fail or a
grading system. If any staff are unable to satisfactorily demonstrate the
competencies, then either conduct an on-the-spot training session or schedule one.
Staff able to demonstrate competencies satisfactorily in some training units can test out.
Step Five: Ask the Learner to Demonstrate the Competency Make sure you can clearly see and hear the
demonstration. Give the demonstration context. Ask the learner to demonstrate each competency
individually, if appropriate. Give the learner immediate feedback after his/her
demonstration. Avoid jumping in to help the learner. Record and track competency records after each module

Giving Feedback Discussion Please choose two of these questions to
discuss in the next 5 minutes: What do you do in feedback sessions to
put recipient at ease? What tips can you share that make
feedback sessions productive and positive?
When giving constructive feedback, what are some ways you’ve helped the subject accept your thoughts/ideas?
What do you do if the subject gets too emotional?
Giving Peer Evaluative Feedback Drop your bag of life at the door. Ask for permission. Start by reiterating the topic(s) your feedback will cover. Invite questions, comments, and concerns Ask for the recipient's perspective.
Giving Peer Evaluative Feedback
Avoid statements or praises that end with “but,” “however,” “although” or any other qualifier.
Let recipients supply their own solutions.
Be gracious. Complete evaluations after each
module.
Giving Peer Evaluative Feedback
Stop the session if: It becomes too emotional. It gets too personal. It wanders too far off the topic(s). It no longer addressing the
behavior(s) you need to focus on. You feel unsafe.
An Effective Evaluator:
Checks with the learner to see how his/her use of new skills is going.
Provides additional training to fine tune skills when necessary.
Encourages the appropriate use of skills when you observe it.
Gently re-directs learner when you observe the skills not being used or being used in a manner that doesn’t meet expectations.
Uses the learner as an “expert” resource when he/she is very good at and/or very interested in a task.
Receiving Feedback Discussion In the next 5 minutes discuss:
How this sentence applies to receiving performance feedback,
We often judge others by how they act and judge ourselves by our intentions.
Why some people appreciate feedback and others resist it.
The concerns you have evaluating peers.
Receiving Peer Evaluative Feedback
Be open to the feedback. Give yourself time to absorb the feedback before responding to it. Accept feedback at face value rather than tying motive to it. Ask questions to clarify your understanding, rather than assuming you
know what the other is saying. Ask for examples if you’re still unsure about what is being said. Sum up what you’ve heard and ask for verification. Consider what you will do to incorporate the feedback into how you do
your job.
Recap There are the four roles you’ll play as you

This completes our training unit.
