Closing Practice and Review

First published: 27 April 2015

Summary

Bringing closure to a training session is a lost art. Too often training sessions draw to a close with no ending exercise to bring closure. An evaluation may be completed, but there is no shared experience, no review, no checking on expectations, no saying good-bye. The closing of a learning session gives learners one last time to review what they learned or practice skills before returning to the workplace. The best way to make learning stick is through practice and review. Making the practice and review fun and interesting adds to the “stickiness.” The activities in this chapter help make the learning stick. The chapter discusses different strategies including, the “stump the teams review”, “traps and exits”, “summarize it”, “reflection circles”, “a day in 30 minutes”, “learning journal”, and “reflect, write and share.” The strategies are explained with case examples.
