Excellence in Training: Simple, Proven Instructional Strategies to Enhance Real World Performance

Excellence in Training is designed to help academy, in-service and field trainers as well as frontline leaders develop the skills and understanding to build and sustain a culture of learning and excellence in their organization.

One of the greatest challenges for today’s law enforcement trainers and leaders is creating a training environment that inspires excellence and is most conducive to learning, retention and recall of material. Excellence in Training is a comprehensive, innovative instructor development course designed to address these issues.

The focus of Excellence in Training is enhancing the performance of law enforcement officers by delivering training in a manner that enhances the competence and confidence of the participants. In order to accomplish this, training must be meaningful, challenging, rewarding, and evidence based. Excellence in Training provides trainers with simple, proven strategies for accomplishing this mission.

The principles and concepts taught in this program can be used with officers at any level of skill and service from recruits to veteran tactical operators.

This course is not about what to teach, rather it is about how to apply principles and concepts of effective teaching into your programs to enhance the competence and confidence of the people you train. The program covers the following areas:

• The Power of Questions
• The Mind: Roles, Responsibilities and Programming
• Infinite Game Thinking in Training
• Understanding Human Error It’s Application to Training
• The Power of Words
• Performance Enhancement Imagery
• Harnessing the Inner Dialogue
• Conducting effective Debriefing
• Using Videos to Enhance Decision Making
• Applying the Concepts of Effortful Retrieval, Interleaving, Spaced Practice and Desirable Difficulties Into Training
