About the Book

Facilitators looking to improve the ease and efficiency of their training procedures as well as making training more effective, interesting and enjoyable for participants should find these 35 activities, based on Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, useful. While the theory of multiple intelligences has revolutionized educational practices around the world, there has been little guidance in how to apply it to workplace training and development. These 35 activities address this gap with games, questionnaires, role plays, guided reflections and other hands-on activities designed to help facilitators provide participants with: icebreakers which illustrate the uniqueness of personal abilities; guidance for the identification of your own intelligences and preferences for learning; methods of improving written or verbal communication; identification of trainer preferences for learning and teaching; procedures for improving team work and team building; support for workplace diversity; and alternative methods of problem solving. Each of the 35 activities provides the facilitator with a ready-to-use plan of what the activity should accomplish, the materials, suggested timing, OHPs, worksheets and a step-by-step facilitation process of everything from motivation to conclusions to be drawn and questions to be asked. In addition, each activity closes with an annotated set of resources such as books, articles, videos or websites.

Review :
'...good value...' Institute of Training and Occupational Learning '...the author - a lecturer in social psychology in Australia - has produced something different. The activities are presented in a clear, logical manner, many intriguing and enabling self-disclosure. If you are interested in activities that are different to the more traditional options, or in using activities in unusual ways, this resource is for you. I would certainly use it.' Training Journal
