The Trainer’s EDGE is the required train-the-trainer course for Wood Badge and NYLT staffs. 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.This course is NOT required to be a District level trainer (but is recommended). Pre-registration is required.

The course is scheduled as follows:

Date: Saturday, January 10, 2015, 8:00am – 4:00pm

Location: First Lutheran Church, 230 South Second Street, Albemarle, NC 28001

Uniform: Field Uniform (Class A)

Pre-course Preparation: Please prepare a 10 to 12-minute presentation on a topic from any BSA material. Your presentation should allow you to demonstrate the skills of a trainer in a small group setting. You will receive constructive feedback on your presentation from the other participants. If you wish to use a digital presentation as an audio-visual aid, please let us know several days in advance and bring your own laptop. A digital projector will be available for a limited number of presentations.

The cost is only $5.00, which will cover lunch. Pre-registration is required but no payment will be collected in advance.

Payment (in correct change) will be expected at the door.
